Steering stabilizer on Dyna Bagger

Today I continued the reinvention of my 1998 Dyna Wide Glide. I installed a True-track suspension stabilizer device. I think the design of this thing will make some positive difference in the handling of my bike. Last weekend I experienced a terrible wobble that I really didn't like and decided to make some improvements I had been planning for a while. Along with the true-trac I installed new Progressive shocks and fork springs. I also put on hard bags and a tour pak this winter. I'm almost done . I will put on some new shaker floorboards next month and then nothing but riding. I will let everyone know if I think the True-trak makes a noticeable difference. It sure does look cool though. Their web site is True-Track, Inc. for those who want to more about it.

Wow

I was just looking at this in AI magazine.

rkortan,
Let us know how it feels.

Did you do anything to the swing arm bushings (internal ones)?

Does anyone know when you should replace these? How do you know when they are bad and are there any better aftermarket ones?

I know, questions, questions, questions.

had a 1996 Dyna with a strong running 89 incher in it. I was never really impressed with the handling with it. I put works performance shocks in the back and springs in the front. A Carlini torque arm helped keep the power train lined up but it never felt as planted as my FXR did. I believe this bike is still an EVO so there are some flex issues there. The tru trak can't hurt. The twin cam dynas were more stabile as far as drive train flex went

2 up ridin was the biggest reason I swapped out my lowrider for the e-glide,mine was a 98 (last of the EVO) handled great for just me but put some milk in the saddle bags and wife on the back it turned into a carnival ride! Like they say it "would push like a dumptruck" could almost feel the flex from front to rear so I think the true-trac and progressive shocks should help!

Today I went for a nice ride to test the changes I've made to my bike. Everything seems to work just fine. It seems to be more solid and stable rather than the wobble I felt last week. I haven't put any weight on it yet but I'm not really worried about that because I don't ever carry a passenger. I don't plan to carry a 100 lbs of clothing so I think I'll be ok. I did seem to feel some vibration coming through the floorboards but I plan to take care of that with 'shakers' mext month. When putting on the True-track I ran into a couple of problems trying to get the rear brackets into place. There isn't much room so I ended up taking the brackets apart to squeeze them through the frame and into place. Also the hardware that comes with the kit could be better. I changed the bolts from hex head to grade 8 stainless.
So,instead of a new ultra I have my 10 year old Dyna set up for my use and so far I'm happy. And I still have 20 grand to play with...........Bob

If I could figure how to attach photos I would send some pictures

Sounds like a great project. Can't wait to see the pics. Like you, I am into the fix what I got mode.

I was investigating these track links, several of them out there, they mostly look the same.

I was about to buy the TWR for 98 FLH frames when I came across one made by Progressive Suspension and through one of the online parts suppliers I can get it for $150. I think I'll get this one on the next pay check.

One thing that you may notice with these track links is that it may transfer some vibration into the frame... or so I've read.

You're right. I sold mine because I was getting laid off a bunch of years ago. I remember when you couldn't give an FXR away, no one wanted them, look too japanese,then Donny Smith, Dave Perowitz and Arlen Ness mad 'em look cool, then Harley stopped making them and whammo everyone wanted one..sweet bike..some day I'll find another one.
