Default RE: True Track?

What reporting??????????????

I drag the boards on my Ultra but I don't ride over curbs!

Get whatever you want. True-Track does the job for me!
ORIGINAL: fimduc

What is the main reason most everyone seems to pick True Track over Ride-Str8 when it would appear from an engineering perspective that the Ride-Str8 has a better design and there is no issue of reducing the cornering clearance as has been reported with the Tru Track?

Zu, thats good to know thatyou have no ground clearance issue on turns and really endorse True Track....I was refering to another thread for the reported grounding
https://www.hdforums.com/m_120435/mpage_2/key_/tm.htm
where DC said this:
Another good question, I got on the forum this morning to address an issue that I had yesterday with the True Track.
I was pushing it through some corners and got into a series of bumps, it was a right hander, and the dog bone part of the True Track bottomed, hard. While it helps with stability, it does lower your groung clearence on the right side a little.
And being that it is aluminium it didn't even make a spark show!
I like the added stability but am not to crazy about the lowered ground clearence. I may have to look into the other one, damn, another $400.


So in DC's bummpy corner it looks like his bike bottoms onthe dog bone before the floor board mount, probably a shock problem as much as anything.

No doubt I will "get whatever I want"...I just wanted to understand how people who have sought a solution to this wobble have made the decsion between the two products Ture Track and RideStr8......
