Hoople

Breeze, what I ran into on the '09 Dyna was the rear axle is a hollow "tube" or long hollow bolt. The true center is therefore imaginary. In the service manual, HD refers to a set of aluminum plugs that you insert into the axle so you can create a true center. The plugs are not for sale even through HD but Jim's makes a set. I would have paid the $120 but there was 1 design issue I really did not like about them so I passed and came up with a better idea. Once you have the true center of the axle, there is a factory drilled 1/8" hole about 4" forward of the axle. The distance between the hole and axle true center must be equal on each side. HD says the allowable tolerance is .030" from side to side which is 1/4" at the tread. My bike from the Factory had about .030" of error from side to side. My belt use to hug the outer lip of the pulley. Once I got the axle corrected, the belt now no longer hugs the lip.
It was something I had to try because the answer was bugging me.
Yes, I am looking forward to getting the True-Trac stabilizers. Nice but pricey. It would be cheaper to put a kid through college than customizing a HD.
