Good question and some good answers. I've made improvements along the way to improve the ride and handling characteristics of the bike.
In I believe '06 HD made some significant changes to the frame,swing arm and forks to improve the ride and handling. With all the money they spent on R&D and retooling, I wonder wy they would ignore what seems to be a design flaw requiring a Sputhe or TT to correct?

If you obey traffic rules and only inch above the speed limit in corners, The bike is just fine. If you find yourself blasting corners,grinding pegs, and just want to go faster through the fun stuff, then the limitations of the bike become apparent. Reality of building a great handling dyna, the shocks you add, the tires you change, the front end work, will show a massively improved comfort level as well.

I would give True Track a try. You're basically adding a stabilizer link to the front and the rear motor mounts. I'm told that it really helps handling by isolating the lateral movement of the engine/tranny/swingarm. This keeps the rear wheel in line with the front during those high sweepers at 80 mph +, and eliminates the wobble. Your mileage may vary.
