Default true track or sputhe...?

Looking to tighten up a 2000 dyna. Plan to power up the motor and don't need the bike to wag its *** like a happy dog.
Opinions on either?

I love my true track....but both products are comparable and do the same thing.

Any notable differences between the two? I'm wanting to turn this 88" into a 103+" monster...

Do a proper alignment, check your motor mounts and go from there before you just shellout the $$ for one of those. Personally, I think their over rated. JMHO

Not worth it, had True Track on my 2012 Street bob and noticed no difference. Waste of money, That's me

What about Daytechs swing arm kit? Would that keep my *** in check?

Like I said, this thing is gonna scream and I don't need to worry about tank slapping at 140+

And just how often do you really think you're gonna get to "140+"....not many I'll tell you right now...FWIW i have buried my speedo a couple of times with out the slightest wobble at all..........

Hey I appreciate the article.
As far as how many times I plan to over exceed the speed limit isn't the point. Point is when I do, I don't want to have to worry about making sure my will was up to par, ya dig?

The True Track is not some sort of snake oil. If you study the reasons why stabilizers are helpful to engine mounted swingarm motorcycles you will understand the physics involved. Before I installed True Track I consistently had rear wheel wobble when cornering hard, after installing not a single wobble. True Track or Sputhe - both will work, you choose.
