In all the years and miles I've rode in 80% of the USA on all the Harleys I've owned in my life, never felt the need for such a thing. But then, maybe years ago we learned how to really ride a motorcycle and weren't lookin for a self propelled lounge chair. As I've put more miles under me and life has taken it's toll on these bones, a softer 'sitter' is welcomed however.
Just 2 cents worth.
Since never had one nor felt the need for one, can't vote in your poll.

Reason: add last line.
I rode through your neck of the woods. milking out a 4 hour drive into an all day ride. up through delta, met my brother in eureka, and doubled back to go through Tooele...
Theres a guy in Tooele that does restorations on WWII tanks, do you know the guy? I wanted to find his shop....
Just traded my Alloy Art in to the true-track people. Gotta a great deal on the TT and much happier with that product. I could never figure out how the AA actually worked, could not grasp the triangulation theory. The TT setup with one heim joint makes more sense to me.
Now if I could only stop the wind from shaking the batwing and handlebars around at speeds 70 and above I'd be set! LOL!
To all those wondering "what wobble?", go test ride an '09 and you'll see what everybody is talking about.
I had an '00 RK several years ago & loved it but it just never felt completely stable and, in certain situations, it left me with, well let's just say a feeling that was less that confident. The new bike handles like a dream, sticks to the road and just feels solid. Probably a frame/tire upgrade combination producing the better handling.
If I still had the '00 I would be studying this thread and purchasing a stabilizer!

LMAO! Every so often someone steps up and hits it out of the park.

And ya didnt even stop in and say Hi? Jeez.
Don't know the tank guy. But I've only been in Tooele (or "the sticks" as I call it) for about a year and a half. Ill ask around though, that would be interesting.
I had a friend here in SOuthern utah who brought his landscaping business down here from tooele. He had 2 partners, and the company was named Tri-T Landscaping. I asked him what the Tri-T stood for, and he told me. Three Turds from Tooele.
