I have both True-Track stabilizers of my 09. I'm pleased and recommend these products. http://www.true-track.com/

Lot of good info here. So basically what I'm understanding is its mostly personal preference. I'm going to replace the front motor mount tomorrow along with my front wheel bearings and some progressive shock springs. I checked the date on my tires out of curiosity and they are only 2 years old according to the the date on them. They have a lot of tread left to go so previous owner may have put tires on it and stopped riding. (I hope thats the case)

I'll update you guys on how things feel after this weekends changes.

I've had a Progressive touring link on my 08 FLHR for a few years now. Works great. Bike tracks straight and feels tight.

I have Tru-Trak and have been happy. are there others? Sure. Are they as good? More than likely. Is this the end all solution? Maybe not. But it worked for me, and I'm happy. Like anything else, you will get a zillion different opinions, solutions, fixes, and responses. Try to get what makes sense and what you feel is best. I believe there is an issue with the frame/swing arms/mounts and these are a fix. perhaps a poor fix, but a fix none the less. As others have said, make sure everything is in good mechanical order first. Then go from there. Good Luck!!
