1. The Ride Str8 and the TWR setup mimick one another whereas they mount to the SIDE of the bike. The Bagger Brace mounts to the crossmember UNDERNEATH the bike, like the True Trak design but for a WHOLE lot less money.

2. If it were me, I'd try one or the other. I do not want an increase in unwanted vibrations being sent to me the rider so I'd try one at a time in an attempt to prevent the possibility of this happening when trying to harness the wobble.

Here's my take on the Bagger Brace if you choose to go this route:

I have a Wheeldock center stand so I bought a unit that doesn't interfere with it. There are several good units out there besides the unit I have. They all accomplish the same thing . . . a solid, more stable ride especially at speed in bumpy corners.

I've had the True Track system on my Ultra since the first wobble, which occured at about 2,000 miles into the current 64,000 back in 2001. The wobble hit in a sweeper that I could ride my Heritage Classic through at about 70 MPH... when I took the Ultra in at 60, it felt like the back end was totally out of control. After a change of boxers, I went in search for a solution. Back then, about the only option out there was True Track. Won't even tell you what I paid for it... and waited over a month to get it. However, would never want to ride without it again... no wobbles, great stability... for MANY miles.

I will say that I wish it didn't tie up the cross member because I'd really like to install a center stand, and that same piece used to interfer with my Sear jack. Now, I use the PitBull, which is lower. However, that piece still bothers me how it hits the jack. Fortunately, the bike doesn't spend much time on a jack.

I grind both of my floor boards on the curves and have never had it hit the ground. Of course, YMMV.
