Does anyone here have true track on a dyna custom?I have an 08 fxdc that tries to rear steer especially at low speed 2 up.Would like any feed back.

Thanks Refugee

 

True Track acts the same on all the Dynas. There are a lot of opinions and information on True Track in the forum(s). . . . If you do a search you'll get mostly favorable comments.

I have this installed on my Fat Bob and it's never coming off.

 

After a tire change on my 08 FXDC, I did the vehicle alignment procedure outlined in the service manual, after installing and aligning the wheel....along with the "jack the engine and shim the front motor mount". My bike don't rear steer hardly at all anymore. I think she was setup sh!tty from the dealer.

Matter of fact she runs and tracks damn nice now..... that and the POS K591 is gone... she sports a D407 now.

 

+1 I did the same thing and I run the same tire. I don't have any problem.

 

I'm running the TT, and agree, it's never coming off! I didn't have any rear steer problems really, it just felt a little sloppy. Not only is the sloppy gone, but there are less vibes too!

I have TT kits on both Harleys. So all three bikes, including my Buell, now have 3 stabilizers - it is the only way to travel!

They make the bike more stable and precise in everything you do with them, from riding dead straight, riding over bumps and ripples and cornering. So riding is more pleasant and if you ride hard you make quicker progress!

Check your tyre pressures. If they are a little soft you will get slight handling problems. If you are very heavy put them up 2-4 psi above stock, or even more, to see if that helps.

 

Just wanted folks to know, I'm not dis'n True-Track, just saying that there are other things you need to check on your bike, before dropping coin on something you may not need. This isn't isolated to Don and me.... there are quite a few folks that have benefited from "re-checking" the setup of the bike.

If you are getting that much rear steer in riding 2-up and at slow speeds, you NEED to check the setup of the bike....
Also understand that the stock K591 is a 'sport' tire... it is soft...

 

After re reading your initial post, the TT won't probably help much. I think it was designed primarly for high speed sweeprs and tight stuff. Low speed and 2 up I'd be looking at something else. I'd look at tire pressures, then shock settings, and belt tension in addition to rear wheel alignment. But the rear wheel alignment should really be noticeable going down the highway. If you let go of the handlebars does it pull?

Sputhe Front and rear Here!! ADD good works shocks and Race Tech front springs and valves.Shim front mount,SMOOTH,I felt more vib till i shimmed the front mount.IF YA DO ALL THE THINGS SUGGESTED HERE YOU CAN DRAG PEGS WITH THEM ROCKETS OUT THERE. P.S. With your eyes open!!!!

 

I changed the front isolator a couple months ago. When you tighten the top bolts that join it to the engine bracket the rubber is severely compressed. I can't see how there could be any measurable side to side movement there. I still have the orginal rear mount but I am assuming it's the same back there. Replacing the isolators is where I would start.
