RE: The TRW Group Buy, Beware
I've never heard anything bad about the Ride Str8 product, but I've heard bad about TWR...from Dan at Ride Str8. Iwent with TWR because itscheaper, and extremelywell made, plus all the good I heard about it from the members of this forum. The customer service isalso fantastic.I have been thrilled with the performance so far, andrecommend it highly.

I went with TWR late last year as one of my winter mods. I purchased it because it looked like it performed in the same fasion as others on the market and was much less money. I think it's a "first generation" as it is a steel mount but real close to the one being offered now. It works as advertised, no complaints.

So, if I've got this right...Ridst8 claims he designed and patented this product which has been illegally copied by TWR, but TWR's copy is substandard and unsafe.

Patent infringement and defamination makes for exciting forums

Sure seems to be a lot of folks happy with the TWR product and service. I'm one of them.
People only knock the competition, when they don't believe strongly enough in their own product. If you can't say something good about your service or product, just make up something about the other guys. This is bad business & it is signal about the integrity of the the owner.
I'm very happy with mine & Tracy is a VERY professional business owner.

damn.... That looks to be a copy and paste from theprevious discussion..... OH wait it is.....
I'm not going todoa copy and paste of my response... Most have read it...
But if we want I can through a title around too....
Sr Design Engineer.....If the military and the oil fieldlets me use aluminum does that mean my product was inferior? Come on.... provide a better argument than that...
Since the claim is the aluminum is weaker I'm sure he has performed some analysis to substantiate that claim?

We bought TWR and will buy more. A quality product at a good price. If you can put enough load on that aluminum bracketry to break it your mind will be on other thing at the moment. If you had the whole weight of the bike on that bracket we are talking about 45+ G's. I want to see the sucker riding that bagger. I dont think even Sloe Joe could do that!!! I am reccommending them to my customers with the utmost confidence.
