I have had my Xtracycle for several years and have not experienced any problems with steering or stability unless it is heavily loaded down with stuff, which is to be expected with any heavily loaded bike. It takes a little bit of time to adjust your riding style for the longer wheelbase. The only difference I can tell between my bike's handling characteristics before and after adding the extention is that I can ride a lot slower with the longer wheelbase. So, in my case, it (apparently) improved slow speed stability. Or, maybe the greater slow speed stabilty is simply my own perception.
