I bought one and installed it on my 2010 Limited. Love it. Before, the bike would try to drift to the left with hands off the bars at 60+ mph with CC on. Now, it goes straight as an arrow. The rear wiggle sensation is gone as well. Look forward to your assessment.

I have this installed on my 02...Only way I can explain it is I felt like the front end floated and now it feels stable..
I think you will notice it right off the bat...Oh, and it has been raining here in AZ since last night and more to come.....

I'm interested in this product but I just don't get how it works? I checked the True-Track web site and it looks like its a plate that bolts to the bottom of the engine and frame? I'm not seeing how that translates to more stable steering. My Glide feels a little floaty compared to the Softail I rode. I though it was due to the difference in rake angle and that I would just get used to it.

Well no update today.....more rain most of the day. It looks like the rain is now over with for the week, so maybe a ride or two back and forth to work this week will tell.

This is a real short answer, but I think it covers it well, anybody else can add if they want. I am speaking from a Dyna perspective, baggers may be a little different.

Thanks alansummrs. That makes perfect sense. I understand the difference between the rubber and rigid mounted motors. I didn't put two and two together with the swingarm being bolted directly to the motor. So the rake angle difference between my old softail and my glide probably has less to do with the floaty feeling than I think. Sounds like a True Track is in my future.
