Getting more power out of the motor really doesn't interest me - if that were the case I would've stayed with imports. But I really want to get every last bit of handling I can. I've looked into the True-Track and other stabilization products but, like I stated in my first post, I think the money can be spent better elsewhere. I think proper wheel alignment, proper head bearing adjustment, proper tire inflation and, as Heldvr wrote earlier, no radical changes to frame/suspension geometry will prevent driveline flex if not outright eliminate it.
I haven't felt flex whatsoever.

I would say this True trac stabilizer probably does fix the Drive line flex problem and may even settle down a few vibes elsewhere.
Hell I might buy a set just so I can find out.
Considering I do ride mine hard enough to experience drive line flex.
Then I will report back.

All I know is that I was taking a 35mph left handed curve running about 70-75mph. My buddy that was behind me said he slowed down because he didn't want to run over my ***. He saw the rear end of my dyna wobbling pretty good. He asked me if I let off the gas & I said no, I actually gave it more gas....lol He's a really good rider & has been racing since he was 9 years old & now he's 38. His name is Todd Clagett & he now runs Clayton Cycle Performace where I also work part time on my days off from my reg. job. Here's a little something for you to read. http://www.aclagett.net/site/roadRace.htm also check out the pics, he's the one in the lead for every photo. http://www.aclagett.net/site/rrPhotos.htm A lady at the shop just had an Alloy Art put on her 08 Lowrider & Todd said he could tell a big difference in the handling. I rode it myself before it was installed (with her permission) & after & now it handles like it's on freaking rails. Way big difference than what it was before & it's brand new with only 2800 miles on it & we really do run a shop. www.claytoncycleperformance.com

I agree with only making statements if you can back it up with a before & after ride. I know how my bike rides & I'll let you know how it is after I get one installed. As for the customer at the shop, I rode it when she asked me to complaining of her bike & then rode it after the stabilizer was added.
