Most people who are pleasure riders never do experience the wobble or don't realize it's there. Press your bike hard enough and know what you're looking/feeling for...it will be there on alot of bikes. I have it on mine...felt it on mine as soon as I hit a few hard sweepers. I know plenty of riders in My local area that have it and have stabilizers and they aren't even on this forum! So, it's not a forum driven subject.
I don't have any experience on the new Kury stabilizer but I won't bash it from the beginning like alot of other forum members do here. Alot of people seem to forget that Kury makes alot of Harley parts and they are just re-labeled with the MOCO name!
Looks like and interesting part...priced along the same lines as one or two other stabilizers at the moment. Read through the forum tho...gather your opinions and make your choices from there. It seems as tho the less expensive ones work just as well too...but ya know it's gonna be personal preference no matter what!

the 09 + frames helped a lot, but again push hard enough, and you WILL get it..Its on my winter mod list. I have been researching for a while now and ill be going with the Tru-Track,,,

Soft tail?
I ride a softtail myself, but it's been my experience that about 95% of Harley riders are conservative flower sniffers, and wouldn't know thru the life of the bike if it had a wobble or performance related problem. My crew seems to be on a par with most sport bike riders...because if those guys actually could ride, we wouldn't be catching up to them.
I'm betting the aforementioned bikes actually may have issues, but will never be a problem as long as they're ridden in the sightseeing modes.
I have wobbles from a back tire, but suspect I have some in the frame as well, even though other softail riders haven't chimed in.
Well, I don't fault anyone for riding their own ride, just as long as they move over and let us blow by!

The wobble is not an issue for the fake hardtails as the frame swingarm geometry is a different animal.
Good to know; we play hard. As that tire wore down a bit and lost weight, I'm getting less of the looseness above 90. Looking forward to the next Darkside tire to see just how hard I CAN push her, but my suspension isn't stock either.

Quite true, in fact the softail family has it's engine/trans bolted directly into the frame. There are no rubber mounts.
