Default True-Track received and installed!

Call me **** if you want, but I couldn't keep myself from polishing all that stainless steel:



I realize few will ever see the rear one, but what the hey! I was already pretty dirty from polishing the first one:



As far as the performance of the True-Track system, all I can say is: WOW! What a difference! NO MORE WOBBLE!

Beautiful polish job. Under what conditions were you experiencing a wobble prior to the install?

Default good deal

Those setups are the single best setup that can be done on the rubber mounted Dynas. How much did you end up gettting yours for, and where from? Glad you like it.

Dyna on rails,
World of difference.
Why is it only those that don't have them say they do nothing?

Default Maybe

Maybe its the whole I want one but dont have it, so its not any good mentality...

Then again I can tell when my tires are 2 lbs low.. and I change my brake fluid once a year because it makes for a better feeling brake.

i rode my bike for 4 years stock, never felt confident in deep turns on the bike, thus i rode it VERY conservatively in corners. I also hated the way it bucked and jerked in slow parking lot type maneuvers.

its like a completely different bike now, been so for just over a year.

Very pleased with this product.

I don't have a True Track on my modded Dyna and I don't and wouldn't say they do nothing. I will say my Dyna is positively on rails on tight twisty smooth roads, completely stable, effortless turn in, tracking and turn reversals; poised and confidence inspiring. Now, that would be full leaned turns with big throttle while still leaning coming out of turns. also, the speed in the peg dragging turns (raised bike)less than 60 mph.

The bike handles positively superbly even raised just over an inch, and with more than 100x100 horses and torque at the rear tire.
Now, if I were to attempt full leaned turns at speeds over 60 mph, un True-Tracked Harley becomes uncomfortably unstable. I am reasonably certain the TT would be a big help there, but at those hi speed full leaned turns, I think the bike would encounter enough frame flex (due to the enormous energy of hi speed turning) to at least partially offset the added stability of a True Track........
Here are some pics of some bit of leaning with this no true track bike......

and some of the effects....

I'm so torn, i've had enough members say it does nothing....but true that those that do ARE the ones that actually dont have it.....been contemplating selling my 99 Dyna and getting the Nightster or even an 04-07 Roadster as all my sportys ( in the past )have been great when it comes to aggressive riding....i too hit corners very fast and my dyna has scared me one to many times..... time to process this some more i guess....

Centerline!,: seriously great photos....cheers!
