2009 Suspension Stabilizer

Picked up the Hot Bike Baggers 2009 Buyers Guide today. While going through the mag I came across an advertisment for a True Track Suspension Stabilizer for 2009. Am I missing something? I've been riding through some pretty good winding roads and I've felt absolutly no swaying of the suspension. Anybody putting Stabilizers on their 2009's?

Talk about something that is totally unnecessary! Well Harley is putting them out of business, they won't go down without a fight!

Then I found out my swingarm wobbles and I might be killed if I don't buy a rear stabilizer. Now I've ridden flat track in my youth, live in Colorado, and routinely exceed posted limits in the many canyons around the Rockies and never felt a wobble. Thank God I have all this information telling me I need to load my bike down with this stuff. Then I'll need to buy a bunch of hop up stuff to pull all the extra weight. Oh yeah, and they advertise this stuff, at a great expense, as a public service in those same magazines and even this forum. Or maybe I'll just keep ridin' more, readin' less, and not fix what ain't broke!

It's interesting to see True-Track are advertising kits for 09 touring models. I have had their kits on both Glide and Dyna since long before they discovered HDF and their kits work very well indeed. Wouldn't be without them. My Buell came from the factory with three stabilizers, now all my bikes have them.

Not sure what they can do for an 09 though. I haven't seen a good technical description of the new mounting system, although I have crawled around new bikes in the local showroom.
