That is a good report to read. Like he mentioned, the beast begins to go its own way on hi speed sweepers. I have found that magic "hi-speed" to be 60 mph and more. I rode my bike in April on four consecutive weekdays near the end of the month on highway 129's tail of the Dragon at Deals Gap. My Dyna did not have ANY stabilizers on it front or rear, but did have progressive 440 shocks 1/2" longer than stock and my front forks are fitted flush with the top triple tree. The bike handled fantastically in those tight curves where none of the curves tight radiuses allow a Harley to go more than maybe 45 mph.
Scraped totally thru the mid mount pegs and scraped about a half inch of the length of the pegs. BTW, it was on the stock 427 tires with over 9,000 miles on them at the time and was run both wet and dry. The bike handled the tight curves like it was on rails.
Running the bike on hi speed sweepers (over 60 mph) (Cherahola Skyway) produced dramatically different handling results, as in nearly scary with the damn rear end flailing along wanting for the most part to go a different direction than the front end of the bike.

 

Thanks for posting your thoughts on the True Track, it always good to read someone opinion on a product I'm considering buying.

Bob,

Just do it! I have TT kits on both Dyna and Glide. We just got back from a 2,500 mile tour to Slovakia from the UK and rode many twisty back roads as well as the German autobahns, in company with recent BMW bikes. My old Glide kept up and was more stable in cross-winds than any of them, which is not bad for a near 20 year old bike!

 

It is not the twisties that brings out the problem. It was on the long sweepers interstate highways have that I first noticed it. Even a 315 degree turn of a freeway onramp would bring it out. True-Track fixed it.

 

Tires can make a significant difference as well.

 

A month or so ago, I took a country road curve marked at 45, at about 70. Tires were sticking like glue and felt good.. until I hit the small rolling dips in the corner. I wound up in the other lane with my arms saying we were going one way, and my butt telling me we're going the other way. I knew right then that a TT or Sputhe was in my near future.

I don't have it yet, but it is high on the list. Don't want to feel that again...ever.

 

Have we got the same bike? I've been on those roads mentioned riding like a crazy man and i didn't notice anything abnormal in my bikes handling at any speed. Dyna 2005 with FXDX suspension, Continental tires/fork brace.

 

It is good to read about the shitty stabilization of these rubber mounted units my bike is handling more and more like a piece of **** since when it was brand new. I never had to worry with rigid mounted frames, before but i am going to order up the truetrac front and rear. Is the top out of align and how does one chack / adjust this?
