never had a problem with my WG... but it's only got 4k on it.
i did feel the wobble on my buddies roadglide this weekend though while cornering, eh.. not worth 500.00 for that track system, just slow down 5 mph.
If I want to dive corners and drag my knees i'l buy a GSXR1300 or some other death machine crotch rocket, like my old Ninja..
..which i probably will at somepoint lol.
It's a Harley, go slow and look cool.. that's why they make metric bikes, to trash and get stupid on.

I received the TT the day after I ordered it for $339 (with free shipping). Three of us (locals) here on the board bought a set and we'll be installing them this weekend.
We've planned a ride both pre and post install so that we can discuss the results.
Looking forward to it.

Once it's researched, designed and in production, China doesn't have to respect the U.S. patent rights and can stamp out a POS that looks just like it and sell it for half the price and still make more profit than the American developer.
The consequence of someone opting to buy a Chinese knockoff of inferior quality and known patent theft is the American company suffers a painful death even though they have a superior product.

The guys that paid for the IDS probably thought the same thing when they found out H-D started retrofitting them for free.
