Default New True-Track front stabilizer

I'm a long time True-Track believer. Had one installed on my last Street Glide, and just ordered one for my new bike.

Anyway, I see, they've recently added a front stabilizer. Wondering if anyone has installed it and if they feel it's worth it? Any noticeable difference in tracking, handling etc? I'm thinking it may be overkill, but like I said, I'm a believer in True-Track rear stabilizer and the handling improvement it adds.

I see it more like the cherry on the top of the cake! As I don't have a recent bike I haven't got one, but am interested to hear how they perform.

It must be really new. Other then the buy it now page, no information about it on their web site. The install directions would be helpful.

Interesting. I considered the True-Track for my last bike, an 06' SG but didn't think the product would offer any additional improvement with the newer frame ? So the stability/performance improvement would still be noticeable on a 13' touring model ?

It looks like some kind of replacement for the stock top-front engine stabilizer. I agree with HDV that the website really should include install instructions so we can see what's what.

I have their rear stabilizer on my bike and it does make a difference.

Agreed, although it only has 4 fasteners, so they won't be very many! A photo of one in situ would be even more helpful. I've seen them mentioned on HDF a couple of times, but yet to see that anyone has installed one. Should make a dresser handle like my Firebolt.........

Here ya go, courtesy of their Facebook page:

A customer came in who had both the front and rear and said the front made a huge difference. He didn't think the rear did much on the newer baggers. I ran both front and rear on my Dyna and the bike night and day. It handled like a dream with the True Track.

Thanks Mr Brown, that photo clears-up where it installs.
