Default harley wobble

OK, need some help here, I don't understand how the true trac type systems help with the "Harley Wobble" in touring bikes. I understand that it is an additional attachment for the engine-tranny to the frame BUT this is still independent of the swing arm and I thought the problem was caused by the swing arm moving laterally (usually in a corner). this would still seem possible as the swing arm can continue to move laterally after installation. What am I missing? It would seem bushings would be the only solution....

the 3 rubber mounts 1 on front of engine & (2) 1 on each side of trans where it mounts to swing arm/pivot shaft. the swing arm location is where you would get the most movement,causing the rear end wobble. That's why the track systems mounts works there. another problem is only the one mount up front.

Agree with above post. I've never had the wobble, but my wife bought me a stabilizer and I put it on. It improved the ride. Besides, when she's on with me I want all the safety I can have.
