Default How many Geezers have installed true-track or Sputhe??
Just wondering how many of you have installed one of the systems that addresses the engine/driveline stability issue and if you think it was as great an improvement as it was for me on my Dyna?

The true track that I installed was both a front and rear hiem joint that locked the driveline into the frame eliminating the lateral movement that caused the "rear steer" phenomenon.

I didn't realize that even taking off from a traffic light the vehicle was being twisted until after the installation and suddenly it took off like it was on rails.

...and no insult intended by using the term "geezers" as short for "geezerglide"..............

.....you crumpy old men..j/k

Good to see such positive reviews on the ride str8 and the true track.

It is ashamed the moco makes us pay for items they never should have left off...
