I would say do some research here on this site, look up ridestr8, true-track, alloy art and Glide-Pro.I recently posted my experience with glide-pro.

I run her pretty good on the highway and have not noticed any wobble. But I've noticed several article about the ride-straight product. Leaving my ride as is for not as far as that is concerned.

In my limited experience it is not while riding in a straight line at high speed but in hard corners or eneven roads in corners that this "wag" shows itself.I recently installed the Glide-Pro system and if I knew how much it would improve my bikeI would have done it or some other system a long time ago.

American Bagger had a good article last month on the Ride Str8, and more information on the other brands this month. I installed the Ride Str8 and I love it.

Thank you guys
For your imput, that makes all this much more fun. If you read some of the information on the sites, they all mention adding a third stabilizer link, suggested by Buell. My friend just showed up on his new streetglide and it has a link on the front cylinder over to the frame. Like another link to reduce engine wobble in the frame. Wonder if the 08 streetglide link would work on a big ole Ultra. Guess front to rear wobble is okay, side to side no good.

Thanks
Ride safe
Mark
