Does anyone know--Is there any conflict with installing a TruTrack or Ride St8, and the Harley center stand?

Check this out.
The boy's in California had this 1 fixed ever since there were rubber mount HD. www.ridestr8.com
I been looking the 3 systems over. This 1 has best road clearance. Mounts to area of swing arm. Closer to the swing arm the better.
Hell read the article.
Will buy after I fix My clatter. With the IDS, for 300.00.
Next, some kind of fuel mangement.

What is this horrible wobble you are talking about and when does it occur and at what speed? I have never noticed any on my '06 RK.

Read article American Iron on this site about 1 week back. It is in a post title wobble. Seem Rk have a more noticable wobble going through sweepers. Its due to the rubber mounted engine, and the isolators in the swing arm. I call it, more of a swim action. HD seems to have forgoten what they preach on this 1. The 3rd motor mount. As my early post read the ridestr8 site, or theTru-Track site it will answer all your questions.

2 POSTS.
Ridestr8 does not interfer with center stand or when placing jack under bike. Also,Road clearance remains the same. Tru-Track covers the tranny pan cuts down on cooling.

I have a true track and it really feels secure to the road when I installed it. I am concern in your post it is happening at 30mph. I know you had some things checked, but it would still concern me. I would also check the other stabilizer and motor mounts. somting else seems amiss.

ok my SG has horrible wobble i hate it i want it gone, only happens in curves over 30mph....
"Horrible wobble" doesn't sound right. FLH's will have some minor wobble (more like tail wagging) on sweepers at high speeds. I think you may have an alignment problem or something may be loose, but check your tire pressure first. Go ride a demo '08 SG or any other FLH and see if it feels the same. If not, seek warranty service. If it does, here's a fix:

Here is a picture of the Ture-Track I installed on my 07 FLHR a couple of weeks ago. Between the True-Track and 20 lbs of air in the rear shocks the wobble seems to be gone.
