Mark the sputhe will do everything you need it to do mate and you will be very happy.

Thanks chriso, that's a good (group) endorsement. Dunno how old Allan sputhe is but thought I'd get onto ordering it whilst he was still making these and he was pretty good on the emails. 

From the research I did here and on Yankee forums, it sounds as though your symptoms are likely what is resolved mostly by the addition of the rear stabiliser. 

Thanks mate. Sounds like it might be worth the money instead of other fancy bits and pieces that do nothing but cosmetic improvements.

This post is back from the dead!! 

I doubt you have wasted money mate, most people see big improvements and even though I didn’t I still believe it’s a great product and support the theory of it. I just didn’t notice heaps of difference but like I said I spent a fair bit of time on alignment and set up previously 

“Feels like it’s on rails” I admit must have been a bit of an over-reaction, I guess all I’m saying is that 3 years on the bike handles fine but still not exceptional (at high speed). Probably pretty good for a harley though

I don’t think your first post was an over reaction at all Daggs... they DO make that much diffrence.

What is the issue with fitting them? Is there any instruction that comes with them or any hints you blokes can suggest who have already fitted them? Ive got a general mechanical ability and will tackle it myself but if it can be fucked up or paint scratched it'll happen. lol Cheers Dan

Just very fiddley to fit. A decent lift or table would be a big help, even better if you plan the fitting of this around a tyre change that would be the go, easier with the rear wheel out. I used bolts a size down, in the opposite way, to temporarily hold the whole assembly in place and then pushed the correct bolts in the correct way, which pushed the temp smaller bolts out

Wouldn’t tackle it without beer mate ha ha

There are YouTube videos re installation for both sputhe and true track which are pretty similar.  Like Daggs says, appears easier with rear wheel off. Sounds like an extra pair of hands will help to hold it in place whilst the first pair of hands bolts it on. Daggs'  idea sounds clever for one pair of hands. 

You want bike straight as possible, lift no good get in way

need jack to support motor/gearbox as you do each

your front bolts will probably be reused

will help on fxdwg, but not much in twisty with the rake and wheelbase

Well I fitted the Sputhe Positrac to my FXDWG yesterday. The front was straight forward but the rear gave me hell. I had my 13 year old son helping who kept saying "why don't you just take it to the dealer and get them to do it"? I started to think he was right after a while LOL but the job is done now. Took me at least half a day I reckon.
Went for a quick test through the hills this morning and I can notice an improvement but probably not $600 worth. The bike feels more stable at both lower and higher speeds but I still have some of that Dyna wobble when cornering aggressively. I guess it is what it is....... a FXDWG not a Ducati etc........
Today I rode solo, most of my riding is 2 up with the bride on the back so it will be interesting to see how it feels with the extra weight of a pillion on the back.

Old thread I know, but figured I’d comment here instead of starting a new one. 

They help a lot!
