lower wind damper, steering damper, i am guessing it is from your fairing... how are your neck bearings? have you adjusted your fall away? check your rear tire alignment, alot of times issues in back make you feel it up front

Call Allan Sputhe, he answers the phone personally. He will ship to your door COD. Great product. Like others said they accomplish the same goal. I personally prefered to deal with a legend in harley performance vice just another company. And his product is much less bulky in comparrison. Good luck on that 140+ cruising....

Another vote for the Sputhe; however, as others have said, not a cure for issues related to neck bearings, mis-balanced or mis-matched tires and wheels, incorrect suspension set-ups, etc. Your rubber engine mounts will last longer with stabilizers mounted- one bonus regardless.

If you don't notice any difference after installing the sputhe or TT its because you not riding your bike hard enough to experience rear steer. Quality rear suspension will help reduce the effects but its not a cure.

Make sure your top motor mount has not vibrated loose (under the tank). This happened to me.

Check steering head bearing tension.

Some wobbles can also caused by cheap stock wheel bearings. Change to Timken/Fafnir (I dont like All *****). Use Timken/Fafnir 205PP, front and rear. This happened to me.

I chose the Sputhe stabilizer over the True Track simply because I think it looks better. The True Track really stands out like a sore thumb. They both do the same thing, though. Be careful installing the rear. Make sure no wiring gets caught and pinched.

I had a straight line wobble at 70 mph that went away around 80 mph. Installed the True Track and did the trick. Some say it looks bulky, but I also have an oil cooler mounted in above it, so cant say visually its a problem compared to the bulky cooler.

The sputhe can be bought separately for front and rear. Most say the front will cure most problems and is easy to install. The rear can be a bitch.

Both units do the exact same thing. I use the Sputhe on the bike we do.

Put a True Track on my Fat Bob and noticed an immediate difference going hard around turns, especially over uneven pavement. The bike keeps it's line much better without that rear steer feeling.

I hated spending so much money for such a small amount of material, but the fix to the ride is worth it. Someone at HD should go to jail for not putting something like these on their bikes during production.
