Default Frame to Engine Stabilizer

Anyone have any ideas on the value of a frame to engine stabilizer on a 2011 or newer high horsepower road or street glide ?

Default Frame to engine...

Was looking for feedback on value of a system like the Tru Track stabilizer on 2010 and newer glides.

Cool

Read my thread on bagger wobble. I don't own a recent bike, but there are plenty of happy customers of True-Track out there. In summary the rubber engine mounts on the latest bikes may be an improvement over earlier ones, but they are not perfect.

Exactly what problem are you trying to address though. I had a high speed wobble on my FXR when on long sweepers doing 80+ and found that a steering dampner resolved it 100%

The steering damper only damped the wobble that originated at the rear end! It didn't cure it, only masked it. A True-Track kit would have stopped it at source.

I suspect your right....the root cause of my wobble is most likely my swingarm bushes. At least the dampner des a fine job.

Read my thread I referred to above, that points out that the cleve blocks your bike had when new plus the lack of a rear stabilizer are the root causes.

Last year at Sturgis I had a stabilizer installed on my 2007 Ultra by the guy who invented it and all I can say is that it was worth every penny I spent for it. It took away the "Death Wobble" and made all the difference in the world. The system I had installed was called True-Track. Here is a link to there web site.
