True-Track allows for an oil cooler, a tool bag, crash bar etc....even a chin fairing, bolts provided allow for all of this and more. TT is the innovator of the stabilizer product - and took into consideration to allow for the many after market products. What's important is that the motor mounts aren't sagging or worn before installing either the TT or the Sputhe product.

yes it does , I never have figured out where the idea came from that those things couldnt be used with TT.

hey true track guy, i had installed a TT on my 2008 flhx ,years ago, and honestly wasn't all that impressed with the difference in handling. i would say it made it better but still the problem remained. all tho the product promised to fix it.
what guaranty do you offer for your product over sputhe? if any.
granted my flhx wasn't designed to be ridden in that manner. now i am looking to "fix" my dyna and am undecided on witch one to chose from. i already run racetech springs and gold vales up front. progressive rears and a steering damper. i want this thing to work. don't want to waste more money.
any input here?

A True-Track DOES, repeat, DOES foul later model crash bar mounts.
If your older bike has the large flanges mounted on the front of the frame down-tubes, no sweat.
If you have a newer bike that does NOT have those flanges on the frame, then the True-Track will
foul the right side crash bar flange on the newer bars that is U-bolted to the frame.
At one time I had a whole photo album showing the True-Track fitment problems, but I took it down.
You'll have to cut off the inner side of the crash bar flange and make an adapter.
Only the older bikes that have the frame-mounted flange can accept both the TT and the crash bar
without mods.
