RE: TRUE TRACK:WOW!Faster too!
For a regular guy who rides within the speed limit.
What is the number 1 most noticable valuethe True Track product provides? Woulld you classify it at:
1) Smoother feel at the handlebars, at idle and at speed
2) Better handling over raingrooves
3) Better Stopping or Acceleration
4) Other
Again, I am not asking this question for the race environment. I am not asking if this product helps stabilize the bike in85 plus mphsweepers. Just basic point A to point B travelling

I think it's too much too. It's a plate and a couple bolts. I'm gonna get my bike on a lift, make a template out of card board and fab one up. Maybe I'll even come up with a better design, start my own company and get rich!

RE: TRUE TRACK:WOW!Faster too!
I had true track on the 03 FLHT and it made a BIG diff in overall stability and handlin, both at low and slow and especially in the twisties, The rubber swing arm bushings allowed the rear to have a mind of it's own. On the 08 ultra I haven't put it on yet as I think HD knows of this dilema and has fixed it in the form of more dense rubber and heavier bushings, have 4K on the 08 and been to the 3 sisters(Swiss Alps of TEXAS)and to the Ozarks (MT Nebo) and I don't think I'll mount it on the 08.

RE: TRUE TRACK:WOW!Faster too!
Yes,Harley has dramaticly changed the chassis & improved the bikes handling on the 08s.I think the new stablizer on the front head coupled with what you said about the bushings & rubber mount is true.I really bought this item on a flooke & wasplanning on complaining to True Track if it did not work.Man, it really works!Very Nice.I really ride too.I have 5K on mine bike & have had it for less than 6 weeks.I usually do 30k + per year.I have been to the GrandCanyon,Tombstone,Ajo,Mexican Border,Laughlin Nv,California.Regards,Tom

Installed my first True Track.WOW!!!This might be the best under $400 upgrade(398 shipped from TrueTrack).I can't believe this thing.This little gaget works like a charm.The unit installs in less than 30 minutes & completely changes the character of the bike.I noticed atidle the bike was different.Rode out the drive way??Wow power to the ground & very stable!So different,it is hard to explain.At highway speed(AZ=75+mph),it'srock solid,yet smoother.In the long sweeping turns,no more wallowing.It is even faster.Yep,faster.Why?Because I can ride it faster because of the superior handling.Over the yearsone of the first things I change is the stock shocks to progressive 440s.I thought the shocks were the weak link in the rubber mount chassis.I know the 440s are nice & I may change shocks at a later date.My point is:For $400,I would choose the TrueTrack over changing shocks or even motorwork.Regards,Tom
