True-Track
Thanks
Steve
Good job on setting this up.
Any idea how long the group buy will last?
Thanks.
On a Buell there are three stabilizer links, one at the heads, another at the front of the motor and another at the rear by the gearbox. They help make a Buell one of the finest handling bikes, by allowing the engine to vibrate vertically, but stopping it move sideways when cornering.
On a dresser there are only two stabilizers, one at the heads and another at the front of the motor. There are many firms, of whom TrueTrack is just one, who make kits to install the 'missing' third stabilizer. That removes sideways movement at the gearbox/swingarm end of things.
On a Dyna there is only one stabilizer, at the heads. Harley depends on a different design of rubber mount at front and back to provide good enough handling. Their system is not very good! The True Track kit provides the hardware for new front and rear stabilizers.
My TrueTrack kits have transformed both bikes. The Dyna is as close to a Buell you are likely to get a Harley! The handling and tracking, especially on the back roads, is a great improvement. The handling is much tighter and gives greater confidence to ride hard. It is brilliant!
The same comments apply to my dresser. Swinging through tight bends is a real joy and any 'rear steer' is a thing of the past.
I also own a Firebolt. So we have three bikes all with three stabiliers - it is the only way to go! The picture posted earlier in this thread is not for a Dyna, but a dresser.
This is a front Dyna mount:

and the rear:

It has to be admitted I had a devil of a job fitting that rear mount and cursed it a few times, but the finished results are worthwhile!
