Default True Track?

I've never experienced the wobble but I've heard the True Track helps with handling. Has anyone put a True Track on? How does it help with handling?

Is it for the bike in your signature?

I put one on my bike years ago and it made a big difference. I never had any "wobble" either, but riding heavy I used to feel sloppy with a passenger in twisties, now that's long gone.

I put one on my Road King and it made a world of difference in how well it tracked on the road. The stability difference is amazing. Probably the best thing I did to the bike since I bought it years ago.

It depends on the year of the bike. 09+ have a lot less wobble issue than 2008 and earlier.

I used the Alloy Art stabilizer on my 2013 and definitely noticed a difference. It is $150 and mounts quickly and easily. IF you vahe mid frame heat deflectors they may have to come off or be modified to get this AA stailizer on.

Did true track front and rear on my 2002 Dyna and it made a huge difference.

Put one on my '08 Dyna and the difference was so dramatic I installed one on my '10 RK to feel no difference at all on it. Maybe because the Dyna had some mileage and the RK was new.

The ride on a Dyna is different than a 2009+ bagger. The newer bagger frame which started in 2009 is much more stable than the earlier frames. A Dyna frame is still pretty much the same as it was in 2000 with the exception of the 49mm front end thus that much more prone to a wobble.

I have one, got a good deal on it installed at Rapid City HD last year.

On an 09+ bike the difference is subtle but appreciated for a bike that has tires properly inflated, spokes tight and true, head bearing tightened/adjusted properly

Not sure it's worth the upgrade then vs. spending my $ somewhere else right now?
