you could get sputhes website today? I cant for some damn reason - thought the design was similar from memory, but i cant remember how much sputhe wants for theirs - they seem to do less smack talking but it just sounds to me like the TT guy had a bad persoanl experience, and chose to use it to sell his product ?!?!? aside form the scare tactics, 3 stabilizer points make sense to me, now just not sure which one is best overall design.

Sputhe costs $359 retail. I have one on my bike. It does get rid of the flexing issues when sideloading the tires. They both are similar but I bought Sputhe beause he is a racer and has been in the HD business for a very long time and is priced better.

Very similar, near identical.
Sharkey has the Sputhe, look here-

I believe it's 359, you maybe right at 339
(for when the site comes back up)
yes, a much more intelligent explanation

This just sounds like such a marketing ploy. It's called fear-mongoring. The news shows do it all the time.
If True-track said "Hey, try this for 30 days. if you don't see an improvement, send them back at no cost to you." Ya know, try-before-you-buy. If not, it's just another company trying to make a living.
Secondly, do I think HD would try to sell motorcycles that would be hazardous to their clientele? I'd like to think not. I'd like to think HD would have a little more integrity than that.

$325+ for this?!?!? WTF This is why China has started making EVERYTHING
I'll bet if they got it around $250-$275 alot more people would buy it insted of being so skeptical.

Anyone know if the TT or Sputhe clears the charcoal cannister that sits right above the front mount on the CA bikes?

Oh, and F**k china, I'd rather save up and keep American workers working.

Believe me, I would rather buy American as well. I am a 10 year union member. What I am trying to say is alot of american products are over priced (not because of labor but greed) causing china to step in.
