Default True Track or ??

I have a 2012 WG and am adding at least intake, pipes, cams, porting and module this winter.

I was wondering if the WG needs or would benefit from a frame mod like the True Track or something like it?

I am curious about this also. I have seen all the posts about the True Track and for the most part, how people swear by them. I have personally have had no issues with the way my bike handles. Its definitely not a sport bike, but I think it handles how a cruiser should.

Are you experiencing any issues yourself, or you just thinking about getting it for the hell of it?

If you decide to go with one, please report back on your opinions.

My opinion is to spend your money on upgrading the front and rear suspension first. You may find no reason for a trutrak and you will get a much bette ride out of it.

I'm sure its a great product, but after upgrading my suspension, I don't feel I need it.

I put the True-Track on my '10 WG. I didn't really notice that it "needed" it too often, but I put it on anyway and now I can for sure tell that it is more stable at all speeds and cornering, uneven/grooved pavement, etc. I'm glad I have it installed. I also have Ohlins #4 shocks.

Thanks all.

WGF it did scrape fairly easily when cornering hard and I went to Progressive shocks and front springs, that helped a lot but it does seem to have a bit of a wiggle when pushed, I'm not a light weight and I'm sure that doesn't help.

I'm adding some speed parts and figured a stiffer frame sure can't hurt.

I'm doing all this over the winter, but I'll let ya know what happens next spring.

If you ride moderate 'n easy, you'll be fine. As for me, TT put my bike on rails for 2-lane ashpalt at 40-60 mph, but don't even ask me about the scarey as hell sweeping freeway curve at 85. I'm a big fan of TT>

I've upgraded my suspension and although it really helped with the ride and the handling, when pushed hard in the corners on anything but smooth pavement your still going to get the wiggles from the swing arm being mounted to a rubber mounted engine. I would agree with rooti on doing the suspension first (front and back)... if you ride hard you definitely will see the benefits of installing a TT
