I had True track and new motor mounts installed on my 98 RKC. I feel a big difference at higher speeds in corners. I swear I can corner as well as on my Ducati supersport.
all of em are in the 400 range....what they do Pappy is limit the side to side loading of the engine/tranny in our bikes.....the top and front have mounts, but the rear doesnt other than the swingarm pivot bolt goin thru mushy bushings....in a big sweepin curve, have you ever felt the bike walk in the rear...these products correct that and they do work very well...i have a truetrack...my friends use the ridestr8....i may've bought the one bart showed cause it is cool lookin[8D]...point is, the moco did not tie all three ends up on our rubber mounted motors, these do
Brian,
I've definitly felt the rear wheel steer on my ultra, but haven't decieded on a Tru Track, Ride Sta8 or whatever. Did see these bushings from http://sta-bo.com/_wsn/page3.htmland they pretty much claim the same results. Wondering if you or any other bag riders know of this product and if it works.
...the moco did not tie all three ends up on our rubber mounted motors, these do
The moco did address this with the Sporties - starting with the rubber mounted engines in the '04 model year. I'd be interested to know why they haven't addressed this with the Dynas and Tourers. Go figure. (Buells also have the 3-point mounting system.)
i think that by installing any of these you are adding vibration to your bike .
and, remembet that the chassis engine is designed to keep the engine away from the chassis to avoid these vibes.
thus ,when you tie in the engine to the chassis the vibes will come in.
this may be why harley did not do it ????????
also, i just read the article on bagger and they did one of these and they tell you that this particular one has the ability to fine tune the ride for the more to a lesser aggressive rider ,and the more you tighten the device for better performance the higher the vibes that reach you.
i will probably try one soon.
i had to pass on the str8 which i was ready to get because my new rd exhaust ,black hole ,has a mid bracket that prevents the mounting of the str8 due to a lack of clearance .
I did not notice any additional vibration after True trac install on my 98 RK. I do vibrate more than stock though because I have a stage 2 installed. Pretty quick though!
