Definitly a believer in stabilizers although I'm not sure what is the best one . I have Alloy Arts Touring XR. It works but puts added vibration in your ride. Don't know if I made the right decision on brand.

RE: TRUE TRACK:WOW!Faster too!
Two up cranked over on Whitebird (fast steep sweepers) between Riggins and Graingeville, I definitley experienced the need for this product. It was a strong oscillation from front to rear. I had felt this before in loose conditions on a dirt bike but I was at a loss for what input the bike was asking for and with the chassis loaded or unloaded(gear selection) it made no difference. Scary. I'm puting TrueTrack on top of my list. Thanks for starting this thread.

Novice rider here. Was uncomfortable over 60 mph due to the drifting sensation at higher speeds on the recently purchased 2000 Road King. Replaced the tires with new Dunlops and had the alignment adjusted which helped. But the freeway speeds still did not feel 100% comfortable. It actually felt as if I still did not have total control of the bike.
For me this wagging sensation was a safety concern as drifting increased over 60. So I was not going any faster than 60 - 65. In my opinion, those who do not flow with traffic are hazardous to themselves and others. I felt as if I was a hazard in freeway traffic. Therefore, I installed the Progressive Suspension Touring Link - $156 on eBay. What a dramatic improvement in high-speed (over 60) handling. Was comfortably crusing @ 75 yesterday but decided to shutdown early due to rain and darkness. Cant wait for a nice day to get back on the freeway and also see what has improved in the twisties and long sweepers. Nothing quite as exciting for a newbe as cross winds and a wagging rear-end in a long sweeper.

Agree,mine was stabilized for less than $100.00.No matter, the bottom line is making these big machines handle.That they will with the right combo of parts,including a lot more grunt!
