I think the point you are missing is that HD spends a lot of $$ for research and developement.

I have more trust in HD than in a piece of aluminum.

Well, maybe one day you'll find YOURSELF on the other side of that argument so we can find out what you think when the shoe is on the other foot. As in, when your out of work cause someone will do your job for a buck an hour less, or when the product YOU spend YOUR life savings developing, suddenly stops selling because of cheaper knockoffs.
Lemme guess, you think Walmart is the greatest thing ever?

if the ridest8 is using harleys part and it only cost $55 then why does there product cost so much? should it not cost less than the TWR which is machined out of 6061-T6 ?

RE: Ride-Str8 vs TWR
I would just like to make a point of interest! This is for Streetrunner who started the thread, and dan semmere who (does not deserve BOLD CAPITAL initials) only tells some truths!! I am not in the business to run down a mans product BUT you claim the bracket you use is NEW HD priced at $55.00. SHAME! SMAME! What do you do with all those trophy pieces called your OLD BRACKET, you offer a, I believe a $40.00 credit for upon return to you? If you are not using all THIS OLD STUFF!! your walls must be full. here.here. now!!!!!! roid

The man who owns the patent for fitting three stabilizers to a bike is Erik Buell. All his bikes have them, also the latest Sportsters. So I reckon if anyone else is to be successful patenting the use of the 'missing' link they will have a tough time. Erik's patent has probably expired, which is why other firms are now making retrofit kits.
There are several other brands making these kits and they are available for other Harley models. Owners of earlier bikes, like my 1990 FLHS, will find TrueTrack make a kit that fits - I have one on mine and another on my wife's Dyna.

ISN'T THAT WHAT WE DO HERE???????
I take exception to anyone who thinks I am trying to pit one company against the other. I think you are all adult enough to make your own decisions. I don't care which one you choose, if any at all.
If you read the original post, I don't beleiveI was giving an opinion one way or the other. I was just providing structural information. I'm not an engineer and can only view this type information in layman terms and it sounded logical to me.
