Maybe it's you, Russ. Can you walk a straight line? After Oban?

But of course.....
Logged nearly 900 miles this weekend running through the wilds of central PA. The short version is that this should have been the first thing I did to the bike. The wobble's gone. The True-Track does for the back end what the new triple tree and larger fork tubes do for the front end. I laid the bike over in some massive sweepers with expansion joints and frost heaves at well over the posted limit and the bike went through with no issues...Just the pogo-ing of the lousy stock shocks.

That's a traction issue. No fix for that other than trying to avoid them.

Were you only getting the wobbles in curves? Could be an alignment issue that the TT is now masking

Every Touring Harley I've owned has wobbled. N00dles nearly went down in ES a few years ago watching me fight one on the BSL. This wobble (the hinge -under-the-seat feeling) is endemic to these bikes is a consequence of that missing link.

Although if you add a sidecar the wobble tends to disappear unless you happen to be flying the car at speed.

With my tru track, it's like I'm riding on a rail, But I ride a Dyna.
I think them Batwing fairings add to the wobble cause.
