Gotta admit that I'm still doing my research and havn't yet decided.

But......... I think it's only fair that the Throttleup rig is recognized as a legitimate contender.

I'm one who has tried two. I originally tried the True-Track but returned it when I found that it interfered with using my J&S jack and eliminated the chance of possibly using an Easy-up center stand. I now have the TWR. They all do the same thing but the TWR works best for me.

I'm curious.

If a rider hasn't bought a stabilizer yet, how can they call any new brand, no offense to ThrottleUP, a "legit contender"? It would seem they are all 'contenders' to someone without one, and I'm not sure any new brand can be called 'legit' without a few hundred units on the street or a years worth of sales, or etc, etc, etc.......... Regardless of the mfr, or even how many people on a forum have bought a certain mfrs unit. mho

It a poll of users, correct?

Is it just me?

From what I can tell, the cheapest one might be the best. Not often the case, but there's a ton of markup in some of them.

You are correct in that I have not yet installed a stabilizer. But it is a mod that I am seriously considering and the discussions, opinions and critiques that I read on this forum are playing a part in that decision. I am not endorsing the Throttleup product or saying it is the best. To be honest I am leaning in another direction based on my own research . But............. I am also of the opinion that there is enough input and response from those that have purchased and received this product to consider it as worthy of consideration. I also am of the opinion that Aaron is a straight forward and honest businessman that is offering a quality product for a fair price. So my vote is that the Throttleup SHOULD be considered and in IMHO IS legitimate. That’s my opinion and I really don't give a flip what anyone thinks.

Some of them are inexpensive, and show it. Some of them are beautiful billet, and show it.

I would amend the poll to include Throttle up but I don't know if I can.
