Help! I have a big problem. When taking a curve at about 75MPH on the Interstate my 05 Ultra starts to wobble and I almost go down. I have heard that there is something out there called fast track or what . Can a Bro gets some help.

 

True Track.

 

If that's happening, the tru-track is only masking a problem. If your getting wobble on curves or straights you have some type mechanical problem, some things to check, tires, pressure or cupping,wheels bent or out of round, then I would start looking at worn suspension components, steering head bearings, motor mounts, swing arm bushings, rear shocks

 

Wobble or wallow? I agree that a true wobble is most likely a mechanical issue but if your bike wallows a little during higher speed cornering there is nothing wrong with it. Every Harley I have ever ridden exhibits this and while it can be a little disconcerting, it shouldn't be so bad that you fear a crash from it.

 

The words, (and I almost go down) struck me as a big problem.

 

That's good advice. I would get the root cause of the problem fixed, then think about adding a True Track. How many miles are on your bike? I've only ridden one other '05 bagger (happened to be an E-Glide Standard), but it felt rock solid in the corners at speeds like you describe. Did it do it once, or even in the same spot on the road? Could there be some grooves in the pavement where it happened? All things to consider, especially on such a late model bike.

Good luck

 

This is a known problem and has been discussed in previous threads. Although some of the issues mentioned above can cause handling issues, the real fault is the ability of the swingarm to twist in it's rubber mounting. There are two devices used to address this, the Tru-Trac and the Ride Str8. This is a real issue, as evidenced by a class action law suit on behalf of riders who have gotten hurt. The Motor Company has been doing their regular shuck and jive around it, instead of accepting any responsibility. Just because some here have not experienced the wobble does not mean it does not exist.

This is not normal and should be looked into more closely! Most baggers should be able to do 75mph around the curve without wobbling. The Tru-Trak system is an add-on stability device, and should not be a factor here! I would definitely have the entire rear end inspected for potential mechanical and/or wear issues.

 

If it just recently started,I would say its something on your bike and not a design flaw.It may have been happening for a while and now you are just noticing because more wear has accumulated.Road surfaces,worn or maybe damaged tires,weak fork springs,fluid level,maybe something you recently bolted on or carrying,mismatched alignment between frt and rear wheels,engine alignment,worn swingarm,wheel brgs,loose frt end hardware etc.All it takes is alittle here,alittle there and effects bike.Has bike been lowered?
