Default Sputhe vs True Track

Up here on the rock weather is telling me it will soon be time to put the bike away. Time to start ordering some winter project parts to go withthe few things Ive already gathered up. My big question is which of the two are the better other than sputhe being 50 bucks cheaper. Are there any advantages ie: easier install or difference in handling. Thanks in advance for any advice.

I bought the Sputhe, because when it is mounted is smaller in the front. It still allows for a cooler or the factory frame mount tool bag(which I have). They both work the same, so I would say its personal preference. Don't expect it to be some miracle device, or you will just be disappointed. I haven't noticed it do much. I will say that having the rear stabilizer installed did probably save my starter though. When my rear mount took a dump with 1500 miles to go on a trip, it kept the rear together enough to not let the starter bang on the frame as it normally would.....

Installed the Sputhe. Noticeable difference, I mean a REAL noticeable difference. Rock solid!

Install was not nearly as difficult as I was expecting (rear wheel was off, I had a brothers help). Sputhe is a legend AND a pleasure to deal with! His customer service with me was absolutely unparralleled.

A thourough search will provide you with specific differences, as it did me, to make an informed final decision.

Enjoy.

I installed TT, then when I installed an oil cooler I replaced the front TT with a Sputhe. So, I am hybrid with Sputhe in front and TT in the back.

True track straightened my 07 Bob out. Best money spent so far.

The big question is have you upgraded the front and rear suspension. If not, I would do that first and maybe you will decide you don't need to be stabilized
