Do you have to call them to get that option? I just checked their site and they only list the set for $369.

A better performance tire with softer rubber like Avon Venoms (my choice) or Metzlers would make a big difference over the stock Dunlop.

Yeah you have to call them, I think you have to call to place an order. Unless things have changed over the past 6 months, they also only ship COD, and you may want to remind them to put a copy of the instructions in. Nice people, but a little different, one day they are out of stock, the next day they have plenty. I hear TT people are also nice to work with.

I have both.
the Metzlers came first, and made pavement snakes disappear. Smoother straight line, and WAY better cornering than stock.
TT came a bit after. Changed the feel of my 10 year old WG. Tightened up cornering predictability, and interesting to me, it acts like a 'traction bar' when I'm accelarating off the line.
If you can do both, do both. Otherwise TT first, as eventually you have to change the rubber anyway!

I've had mine on for about a week and I think it did make a real difference.
HOWEVER the front link mount will interfere with the stock HD engine guard
mount and the mount will need to be reworked. The two items absolutely can not
be fitted to the same bike without modifying the guard mount. I had a long and very
helpful conversation with True Track on this and I'm having what I hope is the
final fix done today.
I'll be sending True Track pictures, etc. and will also be posting them here within
a couple days. The fix is simple, but I didn't have the tools I needed to do it
myself. I'd bet that 80% of the guys on this forum who do their own maintenance
will be able to take care of this themselves.
Let me emphasize that True Track was very concerned about this, made some
helpful suggestions and is interested in evaluating my fix so that, if they
approve of it, they can recommend it or something similar to future purchasers.
Stay tuned...

Appreciate the input from all. Watched my friends bike go off road twice this year in turns without hot rodding it.She rode it out both times like a pro but the next time might not be so lucky. Gonna order one tomorrow. Thanks G.
