True Track opinions
about it but will complain about the cost and effectiveness of a fork brace or a
stabilizer without ever having tried them.
Listen to the people that have them and then decide. Centerline's analysis of how
and why it makes a difference is spot on. I think it does make a difference at lower
speeds, but it is not a HUGE difference unless you're really on the pegs. Of course
a Bob and my SG probably have some basic handling differences to begin with.
However the handling improvement on curvy roads at 60-70-80 mph or under heavy
braking is very distinct. Think of it as buying margin.. the more margin you
have to make sudden changes in angle or direction, the safer you are.
I run both the True-Track and the Superbrace fork brace and am very satisfied
with both.
So I looked over the directions, and remember what some of you guys said on install tips. The front was pretty easy, I first jacked up the bike on my J&S jack but then realized I can't jack the motor so I had to let it back down and then slide my floor jack under there and just lightly support the motor. Uninstalled everything and cleaned up/inspected my forward motor mount, very little rubbing so my old mount must of been a good one compared to some guys having a align/vibe issue. Went to put everything back in and the instructions really get about 6 out of 10 because they mention to put the stainless steel bolts in the front and they show the picture of the stainless socket caps installed in front, okay cool, then when you do the rear, they tell you to remove one at a time the bolts and replace with the stainless steel socket caps, well I can't because I only have two button head allens left in the kit, and it's not a typo because their pic shows two socket caps in the rear. Well I thought, okay, I'm just gonna take the ones out of the front and put the button heads up there to match with the other true track hardware, and I install the socket caps back here. So I took the socket caps back out of the front, and reinstalled button heads up front but per HD when putting my 25 (I think it was) ft pounds of torque, it kind of rounded the button heads out a little, so I said F*&^ this, and pulled those button heads out and threw em in the trash, reinstalled the stainless socket caps back up front and got in my own stash of stainless socket caps and put those in back, geeesh.
Anyway, the only other struggle was I darn sure am not taking that true track back out because those mount bolts on the side of the rear mount were a mother, you have to take em out and flip em around, no problem there, but trying to torque the forward one, couldn't do it, I have lots of tools, and torque wrenches, extensions, wobbles, there is no room in there for a torque wrench on the forward bolt.
Anyway, install completed, and you don't see the back one at all but the forward one looks like it belongs on the bike.
I just took it out for a spin today for the first time.
Anyway, in my book, good to go with True Track,
