It's hard to put a number on it man. If nothing else the bike feels more solid now which is going to give you a more confident and planted ride so it's worth it I think.

On a bike that has been lowered?
On a bike with a big **** fairing added?
And you believe it is a Harley problem?

So I thought the true track would fix the wobble at high speed and it seems it did but i have also experienced a slight wobble when powering out of right hand sweepers. Thought that would have been fixed but It's still there. Im convinced I just need to tweek alignment or pressure in the tires but since I was bored and hit up some you tube videos I got to thinking. Has Harley ever acknowledged the issue of the wobble on the rubber mounted bikes? I couldnt find anything on their site but there are tons of videos and articles on the net attesting to the existence of wobble. I would assume the MoCo would have released something on it. If anyone has info on it I'd like to see it.
I think the lowered rear shocks really goobs up the works. Get some real shocks and give us some feedback then.

Just part of the life of a Gearhead, you spend part of the time tinkering, part of the time fixing new problems that crop up from the tinkering you did, and part of the time just enjoying it.
Only you can determine which is the greater percentage.

The owner of this Dyna spent some time looking for the source of his "wobble" before he found this..You are going to hear a bunch of things to check I'm sure but hey,check em all ya know.Other things I've read are things like setting your rear shocks to the firmest setting and different fork oil in the front.Hope you find it.
Sort of reminds me of my front tire all cupped and scalloped with an uneven bead. I never thought to double check all the factory set up until there was 2500 miles on the clock which was too late the damage to the tires was set in. Now all the settings are correct, the shocks will be changed, fork oil changed, and new tires will be going on. Then all the settings will be rechecked before any mileage is put on it.

Everyone has an opinion...Got it. I have to say again I didnt start this post to solicit the opinion of every shade tree mechanic qualified to drop off their bike at the local independent's garage or dealership for an oil change. I was really only interested in official correspondence from HD in regards to a known design flaw.
