I had one on a 13 road Glide, didn't think I made much of a difference but I never had any problems with sweepers, etc.

Damnit! I just started to notice the wobble.
True-Track (the real deal) won't fit with my EZ-UP Center Stand. They both mount to the same crossmember.

If the wobble just started, I would be checking out other things before installing a stabilizer. Bad/loose neck bearing, swingarm bearings and motor mounts can all cause a wobble. If the bike was stable before go through maintenance items first.

while the price is attractive, the Track-True doesn't inspire confidence by the design trying to replicate the True Track by using long bolts instead of the support plates.

I like the price, and the design. can you feel the difference? I have the same bike, '02 Ultra Classic.

I'm neither an engineer nor a machinist.... but this was my first thought when looking at the two...
I had a True-Track on my '12 Limited, and could feel the improvement on long sweeping curves. I will be adding a True-Track to my '16 Classic sooner than later...

There are bearings on the swingarm (so the arm goes up and down) but you still have rubber donuts mounting the swingarm to the actual frame.

Jack the bike up so the rear wheel is off the ground. Loosen the axle bolt and slacken the belt. Now grasp the swing arm at the end and push/pull it side to side. You’re probably going to feel slop and hear a “ting-ting” sound. That’ll be the excessive oem slop between the swing arm shaft and the inner bearing bushings. Belt tension masks it, and seems to help rubber-band it on a turn.

I looked at the true trak as well for my 03 RKC. I have never experienced a wobble but hey might be a good idea until I found out the price. Almost $400 USD, including shipping to Ontario Canada, Duties and currency exchange. Ya that's about right. If you own a Harley you must be an idiot anyway to pay their kind of prices so lets do what everyone else does and gouge the f*** out those who just might like the product. I worked as a design engineer in 2001 designing brake and accelerator pedals and systems for Chrysler and there is no way that device as good as it appears to be cost much more than $100 to produce and market. We biker boys are dupes but we own a Harley.
