As I have asked you and the manufacturer how many crashes have you cause by giving a rider a false sense of security, or perceived sense of skill that they do not posses.
As a matter of fact I wonder how many bikes/riders have crash with these unit installed.

I'm putting one on. Never had the wobble but I don't like the mushy rear end feel on tighter turns when riding two up. It's $130 for the Throttle-Up brace and a simple install, so if it works then that's great, if not then no big deal.

I check everything before taking off, especially tire pressure. I also installed the Straight8 (or something close to that name) which I believe helps, but the biggest thing imho is skill, pick an apex; maintain manageable speed (cruise control off); stay focused; ride at your pace not packs. Remember that the Ultra has fork mounted fairing so wind will affect it. Never had a problem with wobble. Good riding!

As I say, I know my bike does it and I know when it will do it and I know how to smooth it out but I still don't want it to do it and so will fit a stabilizer. I also agree that making sure the suspension has enough air in it and the tires have the right pressures reduce the effect.

Never had an issue on my '11 SG last year. Is it fixed with the new HD touring frame or not? I do get a low speed wobble when using front brake riding 2 up just before coming to a stop. Rear suspension pressure don't seem to help it.

Yeah when I came over from Sportbikes I was into hot corners with a cruiser until the bike couldnt handle the pitch. Needless to say I started riding the capabilities of the bike not that which I had gotten used to on sportbikes.....valuable lesson.

Dont know about true track being a placebo have never used one, however had a 2004 road glide, with correct tire pressure all adjustments correct low miles with motor mounts and suspension in good order, would wobble in sweepers, felt very uncomfortable, put a bagger brace on problem solved. Bought a 2007 road king, exact same problem new bike, proper settings and tire pressure, installed a bagger brace problem solved. I agree with setting up for a curve at right speed however have ridden all kinds of bikes have traveled 180,000 miles, IMO both of these harleys were unacceptable before the bagger brace. Love the bikes now, were not sure footed prior to the brace being installed, If this is snake oil I will have a double shot, JL

True Trak is a placebo, and we go around every thread when it regards this trash. Maintain your bike, learn to ride and learn to react to ridng situations, conditions and senarios. No bolt on snake oil is going to replace skill. Keep drinking the punch but I pass on this.
