Check out this one, it doesn't appear to have any thing to drag in the curves and doesn't require changing the passenger floorboard bracket. Looks pretty clean.

RE: Tru Trax - Damn what a difference
So my buddy comes into my work today. He's giving me grief because he sold his "ill handling Fatboy" and bought a Roadglide. He goes on to say how it was squirley in back (I think he's squirley) and how he installed one of these true tracs. Now it rides like it's on a rail? Is he full of it? Are these stabalizers really necc? I thought baggers were the best handling right out of the box. To me, that's like buying a new Z06 and having to install a rear sway bar so it will handle right.

My 2006 FLHXI was squirrelly out of the box. Compared to my old bike. But it was the most comfortable bike I ever owned.Added RideStr8t and Progressive 12" 440's to the back and Progessive springs to the front.Then it handled so well I decided the front brakes were not enough. Added Hawg Halter 6 piston calipers with floating rotors. Now it handles and stops. Question for me is. What does the emulator from Race Tech do for the front end?Sorry if I'm showing my ignorance.
Thanks
Gene

Nope... all you need for the new Z is a set of headers, air box and a good tune! 500 to the rear baby!!! [sm=icon_rock.gif]

Be careful dealing with these True Track guys...hubby bought this set up for his Ultra...took it to the dealer...wouldn't work...dealer called True Track and they told him how to modify it...still wouldn't work...now True Track is saying "tough stuff". Do a search on the forum for them. We are sending this stuff back and asking for a refund. Will keep you posted on our thread about this.

I have a new SG and noticed it doesn't track that well at high speed on the highway. Is this product designed to remedy that?
