Sputhe stabilizer question
Anyone purchased a Sputhe Positrac recently? I have been trying to get ahold of them via phone and email for days with no answer/response. Wondering if he's still in business.

I do know he was recently recovering from pneumonia. I was lucky enough to find out that Ramjet here in Phoenix stocked the Positrac. I do have to note however that even with the Positrac, my Low Rider S still dances a little on the highway above 70mph. I am kind of bummed about how this bike handles.

I have increased the tire pressures but I have not done anything with steering neck bearings. It feels like I have a low rear tire. I don't ride with a tight grip. A lot of the time my hand is just resting on the grips with open fingers. The bike also pulls hard to the left if I let go of the bars. I absolutely cannot let go of the bars. It will not track straight. It has done this since I brought it home. I did check vertical alignment with a couple inclinometers on the frame and rotors and it is good. I haven't done a front to rear tracking alignment yet though. I also did not put any preload in when I installed the Positrac. The bike does track much better when the wife and I are riding somewhere. I did put one full turn of spring preload on the rear springs from stock just to help with load capacity when 2 up. I had the bike up to 120 mph the other day and it wiggles the whole time. It's kind of unnerving. I will say the Positrac helped a little but didn't eliminate the wiggle.

I went with the AlloyArt front and rear.They were not cheap nor that easy to install.I will say that they are a very well made product.I am running Night Dragons and i will tell you that at 70-90 mph in curves,she is solid,no wobble,only limits are ground clearance.
