I have just put one on my 05 Roadking and am very happy with the results.
Easy to install and a quility product.
I have ordered another one for our Streetbob.

Does it affect low speed handling at all?

The bike is more stable at all speeds with less engine vibration.
The bike maintains stability when cornering even if the road has bumps,sometimes my RK would wollow in corners if the road was bad but this product has eliminated that problem.

Can't really say I got much from the website about the installation. How hard was it?

Very easy to install you remove 5 sump bolts and replace with sump bracket and longer bolts and the frame bracket has 2 bolts.

I fitted mine with the bike on the side stand in 1/2 hr.

You need a torque wrench.

My 05 Ultra is stable and wobble free way past 100MPH. My 06 SE Ultra is unstable at most speeds above 70MPH and really wobbles bad over 110MPH.

I'm taking my 06 SE in next week to have a True-Track installed amongst other things.

You'll immediately notice the difference in improved handling.

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?

I experience more of what I would call an oscillation throughout the bike from front to back when I get over about 70. I notice it when I get a heavy amount of wind turbulence from large vehicles or I input a sharp steering movement. Is this the same type of thing you all are talking about? If so I really would like to get a hold of the products you are talking about.
