Thanks for the pic of the underside with the Alloy Art. Nice piece of hardware and by the looks of it it doesn't look like you've ever scraped, however, I'm curious as to the clearance of that device on other bikes. Looking at EvEr34's sig, it looks like it travels well below the chassis and could possibly scrape. Have you ever worried about dragging it across something?
NOT ******* the product, just observing and needing feedback so please do not be offended in my inquiry.

No your Jiffy stand actually rests lower and that would scrape before.
I did see his signature and his is more visable than any I have seen. When mounted properly it adds 1/2 inch to your pan and 1/2 inch from that measure to the bottom of the center bushing for a total of 1 inch below the bottom of your ride.

Correct me if I am wrong here, but the Alloy Art unit (others?) looks like it would interfere with being able to lift the bike using my J&S jack. One of the cross members on the J&S fits in the dog bone. It does not appear that the TWR unit has that issue.
I have been reading threads about these devices on this and other forums for a couple of months and have just about decided on the TWR, personally, although they all seem like fine products that do the intended job.

I've never scrapped a speedbump or anything of the sorts...and my bike is lowered also. So i'd have to say it's not an issue.

I recently have removed an Alloy Art and installed a True track. The difference was minimal but I will give the edge to True Track. I like the true track design better than the Alloy art but I will say, in response to Iclicks post, that the Alloy Art doesn't restrict vertical(front to back) movement. The shaft on the main member sides in and out as needed. With that said, I like the way the True Track performs when compared to the Alloy art but I still get a little wiggle in the handlebars 70mph and above with certain wind condition. This is more than likely just the nature of the batwing.
Now here's the thing; in my heart I prefer the design of the ridestr8 and the TWR but I have to admit I am to lazy to drop the pipes and support the swingarm inorder to complete the install. I took the easy way out and installed the True Track which is a snap.

You may indeed have this issue if your jack fits (into) this area but after reading and checking into these components they all seem to do about the same thing so its gonna come down to what suits your needs the most.
As for me I like to be able to look at what I've spent my money on and I like the looks of this fully functional unit.I like it soo much I'm planning to add their other brace that mounts to the front of the motor to lessen the motor wobble...

It's definitely mounted properly and your measurements are spot on. Probably the angle of the pic or background that gives off that effect. Here are a few more pics if that helps. If you measur e up the distance between the crossmember itself and the lowest part of the Alloy Art piece there is no more than an inch difference
