True enough.. OTOH, the most expensive fix is not always the best either.
So, what's your point?

There are at least a dozen different solutions available to cure 'bagger wobble'. Period! What's your problem with that statement? There are enough of them for it to be confusing for someone discovering them for the first time. All the brands have their customers and also get air time here on HDF, but the way the others go about solving it is not the same.

This thread is about True-Track's solution, which is true to Erik Buell's original concept, of using three stabilizers. Their kits provide the missing third one on baggers. It is a neat solution that applies the principles of kinematics, so is an elegant engineering solution that has been awarded a patent.

It's a high quality product that deserves our custom and is the best choice out there IMHO. Save a few bucks if you wish! I wouldn't buy or recommend any of the others because I believe they don't have the same merits as True-Track.

Glide-Pro goes to great pains to explain side load on the front engine mount and how that can increase the vibration the rider feels. Loosen or remove the nut on the center bolt on the front engine mount and see if the bolt will slide up and down easily. If it won't, the engine mount is not directly under the engine support and has a side load. If that bolt already slides easily, you will have to look elsewhere for your vibration. If the bolt is bound, the Glide Pro video is available to all to see how to center the mount.
