Wallow is common to swingarm bikes, all HD touring models included. The rear wheel deflects from straight ahead during hard corners and then steers a different line than where the front was pointed.
Description from RideStr8: " Ride-Str8 is an inexpensive, easy to install ride performance add-on that eliminates rear wheel torque induced steer experienced by many owners of FLHT Harley Davidson motorcycles also known as "Wobble".
Inexpensive is relative to how much money you think this bracket is worth. I don't know if those of you who choose to spend this much money have bikes that handle much worse than mine or what; but I ride as agressive as my floor boards allow when riding solo, and I've never experienced any kind of wallowing that would entice me to spend $400.00 for some bolt on linkage. I feel the same about those axle adjusters...Way overpriced. In a previous job, I was a CNC machines and one of our products were nearly identicle [but smaller] to those axle adjusters and they are too easy to make to spend that much money on them.
