Default True Track or T.W.R. Missing Link

Does anyone have an opinion on either one? Ease of install, performance?

Thanks

Just installed TWR and it is great.&nbsp\\; My only problem was getting to the lower bolt behind the exhaust to remove the OEM bracket and install the TWR.&nbsp\\; The instructions say you may need to remove the right side exhaust to access the bolt.&nbsp\\; I have an all stock set up and it was difficult to reach the bolt.&nbsp\\; I spent a couple hours just working the exhaust away from the bolt to get to it.&nbsp\\; I am also only mildly mechanically inclined to say the least.&nbsp\\; Other than that, install of the TWR was a snap.&nbsp\\; Great product.&nbsp\\; Tracy is a stand up guy to deal with.&nbsp\\; The part is very well made and priced competitivley.&nbsp\\; There is also a thread on here with pages of info on the TWR.

I have the twr and it is great. I live on a mountain so I have plenty of curves and twists. It haelped some at low speeds. It is easier to remove the right side exhaust so you can use a torque wrench

I started with a Terry Components, which is almost identical to the True Track, and the installation is a lot easier and quicker, but you will sacrifice clearance when cornering if your bike is lower.&nbsp\\; I had problems getting the TC to fit right, so I went with the TWR.&nbsp\\; Took longer to install, mainly because I had to remove part of the right side exhaust, which isn't hard, just takes a little time to do, but am extremely satisfied with the performance.&nbsp\\; Though both systems provide the same results, if it were my choice, I'd take the TWR at the $330 special for HD Forum members&nbsp\\;anyday

I looked at all of them\\; TWR, Ridestr8, Tru-Track, and a few others. I ended up with a TWR for 2 reasons, price, and I think that the farther to the rear the link is the better it will limit movement. JMO

I did this write-up on the Ride-Str8 last year, which is functionally identical to the TWR. The TWR is considerably cheaper.
