here is what I did:
I put longer damper rodes in, by Tracker Die, it raised my front end 2 inches, I'm still on my factory springs and used screaming eagle fork oil. I also replaced the rear shocks with 13.5" HD off of a Roadster.

Did you get the speed wobbles after getting the tracker die damper rods? If so did you have it at the 9.5 or 11.5 height setting? How was it prior?.

I have an 07 1200L and was thinking of getting the tracker rods put on and heavier fork oil. Based on those results possibly add the racetech w emulators. Or I might go roadster rods and add the racetech

Hey I went with the 9.5. It was 4.5 prior and actually ended up adding 2 inches in the end.
No Speed wobbles, but I do get some slight shaking at very high speeds like 100 to 110 but that could be the windshield or tire.

I did not add emulators, but kinda wish I did.
