True-Track is designed for stock rubber mounted Harleys. To not be very impressed with a product when it isn't used for it's intended purpose - this shouldn't be surprising.

Provide confidence in your motorcycle and your riding ability
Do you need to revise that? Would you like to clarify "intended purpose", and maybe define some limitations?

It should also be noted that KingKingKing is running a 200-18 rear tire and this could be the source of his handling problems because of the effect to the frame geometry and the wider profile of the tire. I am sure he will get this worked out and be able to give an honest opinion of the True - Track stabilizer when riding the machine close to its limits.

All I can say is on my 11 Road Glide at about 75mph & above it felt loose , like my rear tire was going flat , no bad wobble but loose , 1st time I felt it I pulled over to check my rear tire , after that I was aware of the issue , it wasn't scary but still I didn't like it , I am a very aggressive rider , I install the True Track and it cured my situation , every bike is different , we run different tires , suspension and so on , but it worked for me

Well I was mistaken, I was under the impression they were designed to "improve" stock rubber mounted harleys. I've read your website and all the claims of enhanced performance but surely didn't see anything that said "unless you ride a little harder than average". In fact what I saw was this claim:

You are not mistaken, True-Track is designed to "improve" stock rubber mounted harleys. The RK in this thread had been modified. Yes my own personal experience was as written at the website: TT provided me confidence in the handling of the bike and my riding ability. I ride an 09 SG and at uneven gooved surface the bike would shake it's tail and sweepers could not be ridden at full throttle if I so chose because it felt like I had a flat tire, like the wanted to kick out from under me - once the TT was installed, these were no longer issues - the bike handles like it's on rails. No two bikes are built the same and no two experiences will be the same. When installing True-Track on a stock set up Harley, whether riding casual or aggressive, it does provide stability not otherwise found.
"Intended purpose" was referring to a stock geometry set up.
Limitations: the sky is the limit, just be sure to learn what or how modifications change a bikes set up and always ride safe.

I have a 2010 RG (fairly stock) and my experience has been very different. Routinely ride 80+ mph and the bike is rock solid. Pretty much the same as the 2010 RG I rented and rode through CA, AZ and NV. Canyons, big sweepers, straight roads the bike felt fine regardless of the conditions. Better suspension would be a good upgrade, but I didn't once feel the need for a stabilizer.
