I didn't want to be the first one to say it, but it really is. Saw it long before they were a sponsor and decided that whatever they were selling wasn't for me.

It works plain and simple!
I was sceptical too until I fitted the True Track stabilizer on my 08 Dyna.
Plain and simple it works!
I would have bought it just to cure some of the the vibration which it did, the better handling is just a bonus.
I pushed it pretty hard before, now I scrape the frame on the road on the right side.
The Vibration is the same now at 30 mph as it is at 100mph.
Before the vibration at 30mph made me want to get rid of my Dyna it was terrible bike worse than my old 2001 hard mounted sporty.
Now it is one with me and I couldn't sell it.

I don't have one due to lack of funds but, as someone that has researched the shortcomings of the frame design, I would say it is the rear stabilizer that is going to make 90% of the difference.

I think you are right...alloy art makes a stabilizer kit just for the rear...

sputhe is another company *though their website aint workin for me today - that has a stabilizer unit - I cant recall how simialr (if at all) theirs is to the true track
I noticed a big diff with hd progressive rear shocks and heavier weight oil upfront, but i really would like to stabilize the motor more - Ive bent a rear swingarm already on my 07 bob and probably need new mounts at this point too!
Anyone got the sputhe for comparison?

I looked at Sputhe's web site. Theirs looks very similar to the TT design. And their web site presents a more credible scenario for when this product is actually needed, and doesn't try to make you think your bike is some sort of death trap without it.

you could get sputhes website today? I cant for some damn reason - thought the design was similar from memory, but i cant remember how much sputhe wants for theirs - they seem to do less smack talking but it just sounds to me like the TT guy had a bad persoanl experience, and chose to use it to sell his product ?!?!? aside form the scare tactics, 3 stabilizer points make sense to me, now just not sure which one is best overall design.
