Help please with the wobble issue
Dear All,
I shall be with pride collecting my 2016 Road King this coming Friday.
I have read numerous forums and posts and I'm still some what confused.
My confusion is has HD cured the issue with the 2014 Rushmore models? at present I'm inclined to add a True-Track stabiliser for the added insurance.
Regards
Steve

Don't know why you would consider wasting your money until you encounter a problem. If you have a wobble problem with a Rushmore bike, you probably have the bike overloaded, a tire problem or just plain riding bike through corners to fast.JMHO

I have a chassis stabilizer on my 98 road king and it is rocksolid. I rode a friend's 2005 Road King and had a serious wobble going into a fast right-hand corner. This problem was addressed with the 2009 chassis upgrade. If your bike is older than 2009, I would definitely get some form of chassis stabilizer or brace. Newer bikes seem to have terrible suspension in the rear with air shocks, but otherwise are much improved. My 16 street glide didn't wobble with the stock air shocks, and is rock super solid with the Ohlins rear. Best advice as was mentioned is just try it.
