True Track = awesome= scary
I have experianced the rear wheel wobble on the long sweepers at speed with my FXD. Well I finally bought the true track that I have read about many times on the forum here.
I installed this on the bike yesterday. What is scary is I went for a ride after installing the true track to see if this thing really works as advertized.
I was taking some corners at speeds of 25 to 35 miles over the posted speed limit to feel the rear wheel wobble or rear wheel oversteer (whatever you want to call it--as you know what I mean if you have experianced this) and there is no more rear wheel wobble or rear wheel steering anymore. Well this thing really works and I say is scary because I found myself going way to fast to test this true track thing. The bike rides like it's on a rail--straight and true. I think I'll slow it down now and enjoy my ride like it should have been designed in the first place. Just sharing my thoughts with you all and thought some here would be interested.

It is sad that the MoCo couldn't add two more links to keep the motor from lateral movement. We already pay top dollar for our bikes. A couple hundred more isn't gonna matter. I defnitely need to look into that. I hate how my bike handles.

Zoopman, I echo your sentiments exactly. The True-Track and my saddlebags and my Nostalgic Grips are the three best options added to my bike.
The wobble is gone for good. Every aspect of handling seems better, I stopped thinking about it.
SC, yeah, MoCo should have done this for us.

One difference between the TruTrack and Sputhe positrack is that the slightly less expensive positrack is suppose to clear the oil cooler just fine, where the TT needs some persuasion. If the weatherman is correct I should be able to verify this tomorrow (nothing like lots of rain to bring out the tools). Just mentioning it here as I know some of you have had this question unanswered for awhile.
