None here. I'd call and talk to them, the one time I did, when I got off the phone, I felt good and knew I could call them back about anything.

RE: True track increased vibration?
it may well be.
when i met the service mgr. for hd at the daytona exhibit i had vibe issues with the new rb balckhole .
he then walked thru a bike and explained that all rubber mounted engines have a space envelope around them of ,i think he said , 30 cm.
sure enough i got on my knees and found some areas where the rb exhaust came in contact with the frame ,and in some places it did not ,but was too close to it ,and this meant that under acceleration,or high rpm,s ,the pipes move around or some expansion occurs ,and thus contact with the frame .
i have resolved my vibe issues to some degree .
therefore ,when you attach to the bike any type of brace between the engine and the frame ,there is a contact point and the air envelope around the engine is violated and vibes will come thru.
in the case of true track ,and others ,you are in fact violating this space and thus you get vibes .
also, in an article in baggers or is it american baggers , where they mounted thealloy art , the magazine states that in their test the vibes did in fact come into play.
it also states that the degree of vibration is directly related to the amount of handling improvement you dial in thru the **** that adjusts this .
the better the handling the more vibes,and if you release the **** out ,the vibes will dimish. and so will the handling .
so, if you are planning to ride the dragon ,make it tight ,and once you go home release it .

RE: True track increased vibration?
i love my true track...your assumptions are correct as to movement allowed and movement we are tryin to limit...it was a good mod for me...however when i combined it with the sta-bo, it shook too much for me so i took the sta-bo's off
i do agree the driveline was designed to float in rubber...too much limitin aint good for a glide..IMO thats how come its called a Glide
