Yes, it is. I abhor scare tactics to try to sell a product. Their web site is enough to make me buy some other company's version of this if I ever feel like I need one.

I agree....I probably would not buy from them based on the web design alone....not to mention I have never wrecked due to anything like this. Hokey garbage if you ask me.

Just a thought.........
Take a look at the mounts, glance at the manual, and it does not take a few minutes and a phd to figure out that the way the swing arm mounts to the motor.... and that the motor is held in place by a couple of rubber mounts.....
Hmmmmm....... it appears that there is precious little besides the Rear shocks and rubber mounts that try to keep the rear in line..... and they are both designed to flex/move !
But feel free to come to your own conclusions......
That said.......
I was actually surprised how well my Dyna handles with what I consider as a bit of a Strange Design / Handicap !
Have I felt the Azz-end move out a little in a sweeper, or when Ive jumped on it coming out of a tight twist...... ABSOLUTELY !
But it never Made me freak.... or feel I was in Danger.
Actually it felt alot like my old dirt bike did when gassing it out of a turn and the rear would be breaking loose just a bit...... just ride it out !
Would I have done the thing differently..... probably.
Do I think its the best......... Naw.
But I aint felt the need to change it yet, and the bike is ten years old on the original mounts. (*Note to self*.... Change out yur mounts just Cuz....)
These aftermarket solutions.......
Like any other aftermarket accessory, if you like it.... or it suits YOUR needs..... then its money well spent.
But I dont believe you HAVE to have one.......
Just MHO..........

I know, but I still hate to see a thread go off topic. But I saw that Screamin' Eagle Heavy Breather AC on his bike and I've been thinking that thing must have some killer intake roar when you really get into the throttle, so I thought I'd ask. hehe

And... oh yeah... the true-track website REALLY sucks. They'd probably get a little more business if they had my 6 year old redo their website.

There are a lot of HDFers who doubt the benefit of these things, TrueTrack or other brands, but I have yet to see anyone who has fitted one complain.
I have two bikes with them fitted, plus a Buell = three bikes with three stabilizers each. There is no going back!
