Default Ride Srt 8 or True Track

Hey Folks,
&nbsp\\;
Thanks Upfront-Does anyone have experience with these systems ? Do they work ? Are there install issues ? Is one better than the other ?

In the same situation, I asked a couple of the dealerships in town (of service personnel) and they all recommended True Track (a number of them had it installed on their bikes) and all swore by it. Not criticizing Ride Str8, just this is what they happened to have installed and recommended. It was enough for me to make my decision in that direction.

I went with the Ride Str8.&nbsp\\; It doesn't seem to hang as low under the bike when mounted.&nbsp\\; Simple install - less than 30 minutes.

I went with truetrack.

5 minute install, and your not replacing any stock parts with aftermarket ones. You DO loose about an eighth to three sixteenths inch of ground clearance, but not enough to really matter, IMHO.

Before you invest in anything of this ilk, make sure your alignment is right. If it is, and you still feel you need something like this, tell us what you went with. Until your bike goes straight down the road with the front wheel straight, don't invest in any fixes.
