True-Track
Well, I did it.. after reading many forum articles (here and at 2 others).. I decided the gain was worth the cost and made the purchase. Some folks seemed to "enhance" the ground clearance as a major issue. From all the photos and actual True-Track owners I didn't see it was that big of an issue (unless you ride like a Metric Rocket owner). Since I no longer constantly ride like my hairs on fire.. it made more sense to improve the stability/handling "if" I decide I found a fun rode and begin to wind up the throttle.
Next on my list:
1.) SE Stage I vs Stage II
a.) Can I get a Stage II for my '03 Ultra? - I only ask because HD web site doesn't show that option for my year. Stage I yes. But Stage II only shows for '06 and the only differences I see are CAM and Clutch. I could always go 103" Stage I
2.) SERT - Definately going this way after all the discussions I've read
3.) Rinehart True Duals
4.) Premium Oil Cooler - Just to keep the Oil temp lowered with all the changes made
5.) Woody Slimline Blower - (if I can get it by the Wife)
I can't tell you how much I enjoy my bike.. I don't think I'll ever own another brand. I've had Large/Touring bikes for 20 years and have had Yam, Kawi, Suz and finally Honda and this bike makes me feel like I'm really on the road and there's something under me besides plastic and gadgets. I see now why Harley owners are so dedicated to them.. It has little to do with American made (although that's a plus) and has everything to do with the journey to where your headed.

RE: True-Track
To answer your question the SERT does come with a stage II file for 03 tourer.
But you really want to tune it anyway. With the Rineharts having an 02 sensor port on the fron pipe have some extra options on tuning. I Picked up a DTT Twin Scan 88+ I already had a couple of there WEGO II's. If you get there Twin Scan+ It can work as a stand alone data recorder or as a scan tool. but as a data recorded plugged into the WEGO II it will record actuall AFR while you ride. Then after downloading it will show you what cells to edit in the SERT and how much to change them.
While having my bike apart last week I added a second bung to mr rear pipe so I could put an 02 sensor in the pipe also and tune both cyls. Rode it Thursday and it works pretty good I now have another calibration file to upload before taking it out for another spin.
The TC88+ is a little pricey but it is like having your own road dyno to tune with any time you want. Like paying alot for a dyno tune but only having to pay once.
I can take some pick's of where I put the sensors and such if someone want's.

Good info there.. can you insert some links to the product you're mentioning? I think several people would be interested in something like this. Self tuning would eliminate a lot of "wrench" knowledge issues I've seen at some of my local HD dealers here in Washington State.. <cough>
Thanks much for the feedback
Cheers
