Stabilizer on a Dyna?

Stabilizer on a Dyna?
just wondering if anyone out there has a stabilizer and what you think about it? Does it really make a difference? I don't know why but at times I experience a wicked wobble on the highway (90-100 mph). I've been kickin the idea around but some of those cost 800 or more. I'd rather put that money towards my 117 kit. Plus I don't really like the look of them

Make sure your neck bearings are good, and the "fall away" (tightness) of the top nut, triple tree is correct. GET RID OF YOUR STOCK FRONT MOTOR MOUNT. (and maybe your rear one) All before doing anything. Especially a big engine. Predator is a great choice especially in the bang for your buck dept. THEN, get a good, NOT CHEAP EBAY stabilizer. It'll all be cheaper and easier and much more reliable in the short, and long run.

If you value your life as I am sure you do, get a True track kit installed, or a Sputhe, if you are going to push a Dyna hard you need the 3 Stabilisers, I installed True track on my Fatbob, because I had really bad wobbles with my old wide glide, and I can tell you bike is rock solid, it will be the best cash you can spend on your ride, and it only costs 378 dollars for front and rear, but if you are a little tight for cash go with the Sputhe, Alan will sell front or rear separately, put front on first and see it you feel the difference, many have done this and noticed a 90% difference, and then installed the rear to lock everything up tight.

IMO I like the Sputhe better than the Predator if you are talking chassis stabilizers. I've not found steering stabilizers to work well on the street.. Might be good if they added a steering speed wobble sensor and made the damping programmable. Daughter has a Scotts that works excellent in the sand on CRF250X.. I've only tried conventional dampers (PMFR) on street bikes. No luck with the wobble.
