I worked at a MX track for a few years and was the Race Starter for a couple of those yesrs, I saw thousands of motorcycles go around turns. Looking at the slip angle of the front tire, the wreck was the result of "Overcookin" it into the turn, no bracket in the world could have prevented it at that point.

Looking at both, they seem very similar in design - probably perform similarly.
I received the TT the day after I ordered it for $339 (with free shipping). Three of us (locals) here on the board bought a set and we'll be installing them this weekend.
We've planned a ride both pre and post install so that we can discuss the results.
Looking forward to it.

Will be good to hear your reviews on the performance as well as the install.

I'd be curious about how much of a difference just the rear bracket would make, like the Alloy Art product. AIM had a write-up on the Sputhe and they made comparisons by disconnecting the bracket links, IIRC. But, only with both on and both off, not trying just the rear link.

Real interested in the results of the group install!
Re the need in general - if one drives aggressively or has tweaked the motor to 100+/100+ - these are a good way to prevent torque-induced misalignment - and the more beyond 100/100, the better an idea they are, IMHO.
Harley's design is fine for the power levels of a stock or slightly beyond bike. However, when we build these things to the point where they approach or exceed the design parameters, then it is incumbent on the owner to upgrade other systems to bring the bike back into balance. Disclaimers: Believe it or don't. YMMV. BTYP.

I would be interested to know which one of these makes for the simplest install. The fronts seem really easy. The rears look like a few choice words will escape the lips before the install is finished...

Well, just finished putting my TrueTrack on today. Just like others have said about their installs, the front is very easy and the back is more of a challenge. This job can be done by yourself which is the way I did it. Seems any of the Dynas 06 and newer have to reverse the direction of the lateral bolts on the rear motor mount so that it can mount to the new bracket which was about the most fun ever. Starting the threads into the bracket was about the same amount of fun but seemed to happen pretty quick for me. There is just no room to work in there. I removed one of my mufflers as well to assist in some type of easier access.
I for one hate buying things that don't make a change and aren't noticeable. This is not one of those items. Todays riding produced no sway/mis-tracking/wobble whatever you want to call it. I am very happy with it and would recommend it to anyone experiencing the same situation.
I also believe that if one is interested, the other brands out there would bring the same result.
