Track or Brace?
I'm seriously considering whether to buy a Bagger Brace or True Track for my RK. Any thoughts on either? Is one better than the other as far as handling or installing?

Issues:
1. Front wheel wobble at speeds above 70
2. "Floating" around curves
3. Tracking slightly off center when coming to a fast stop, (stop light, etc)
I was looking at the testimonials from the Bagger Brace site and all of the issues that people say were corrected on their bikes are the same issues that I am experiencing.

Gonzy, I don't doubt you're feeling something is not right
but I really doubt that the problem will be solved with the brace. The website will of course tell you what you want to hear, but most of us here with an 09 or newer touring bike will tell you the same. These bikes are as stable as they come. If you're having stability issues then it's something else. Tires, steering head or even the frame fasteners. Take it to a dealer you trust and make sure they have someone test drive it.

I dunno, man. I've got the Bagger Brace on my 2007 Ultra. I took my buddy's 2009 out for a rip last night and it still handles 10 times better. It was a noticeable difference between the two bikes. The two of us have the same aftermarket shocks on the same settings. I think the newer bikes handle better.
