Baker +1 Oil Pan and RideStr8 compatibility
I recently purchased a Baker +1 Oil pan for my 2008 Ultra. Baker's advertisement states that the pan has an integral boss for the Alloy Art TXR stablizer, but says nothing about the pan being compatible with anything else. Obviously, I have a RideStr8 which mounts to the underside of the stock pan. Has anyone done this conversion and used the RideStr8 stabilizer or any other stabilizer other than the Alloy Art Stabilizer?
Thanks

Interesting, not really sure wing man. I just bought my sale's rep demo Baker oil pan. Those deals are usually to good to pass up. I'm interested to see if it really makes a difference. Normally Bert's stuff is pretty high quality. If you can't find the info I can give him a call 4 you.

I have the RideStr8 and looked at the Baker pan a few weeks ago. I see no way the RideStr8 will fit that pan given the need for the stabilizer brace to mount flush as with the stock pan. Look at the stock pan then the Baker and you will see that the latter doesn't have the recessed area the RideStr8 fits in, instead having long bolts that go the depth of the pan.

I have the Baker +1 and the Truetrack stablizer on my bike. I made a new bracket out of 3/8" alum plate that mounts to the back of the Baker with longer bolts I traced the Truetrack bracket onto the plate and cut that out. I could have cot off the standoffs on the TT bracket, but if this did not work I wanted to be able to sale the TT set up. I then mounted the stablizer link to my plate and the TT cross member mount. It angled the link as the +1 with plate sits lower then the stock + TT bracket does. I had to do some cleance grinding on my plate for the angle, but it works well and I have had no ground cleance issues (my bike is lowered 1" from stock).
