My .02
I am happy with what True Track did for the handling of mine.

Here's another vote for the Truetrack! Totally transformed the handling of the bike!

You didn't say what Dyna you have; so I'll presume it's a late model one. Mine is an '01; it came with adjustable suspension front and back (FXDXT) but would still do a slight weave riding thru curves, especially if there was a road irregularity like a slight dip. Anyhow; had the bike totally apart 3 years ago and put in the Sputhe engine mounts; as well as a sputhe swingarm, 18" rear wheel and currently use Bridgestone radials. With a wet weight of 607lbs; the bike handles pretty good for a Harley. I was on a BMW R1200RT last fall in Italy; so I have experienced what is supposed to be good handling.....
On the newer Dynas; there is more weight (about 675 for an FXDL) so there is even more need for quality shocks; especially with rebound adjustment and maybe some cartridge inserts for the front end. Only trouble with them is they are not externally adjustable. There are lots of awsome roads over there; hope you enjoy them.....

The only experience I've had with TT was the last time I hung out with Sniper77. We swapped bikes for a bit. His 06 street bob w/95" with all the fixin's and TT. Bike rode like it's on rails. Much different that my sloppy WG. One of those systems is on my list.

I’ll change my shocks for some Progressive and probably do something about the front to

Anybody with experience in those frame kits ?

Thanks
I've got the Sputhe Positrack (front only) and it works great.

Hi from the UK. I have TT kits on my Dyna and Glide. Transformed both bikes! TT will post to overseas addresses, so just go to their website. Email them for postage costs and remember your country may add import taxes to the shipped cost! I bought my kits before they started sponsoring HDF.

True-Track believer here. Took all the slop out of the handling.

Default TrueTrack SUCKS!

Took all the fun out of my ride. No more fear and anticipation going into a high speed sweeper, wondering if that sliping on ice fealing was going to turn into a full-on tank slapper.

You can have my TrueTrack, right after you pry my 1911 out of my cold dead hand!

Thanks again all for your imput, I've got a 2007 StreetBob...

And I think I'm gonna go for one of those, dono if it will be the Positrack or TT, what's for sure is that I'm gonna be the first one of the gang, and if the improvement is as great as you guys say it is (which I don't doubt) I'm not gonna be the last one, a lot of us Dyna riders are not happy with the handling, well except the usual " if you wanna go fast buy a rice burner..." crew...

I've read somewhere around here that the Positrack kit didn't come with a "how to install" infos, does the TT have that ?

Another question, would I still have to change my shocks for cornering stability with one of those kits ? I suppose it wouldn't harm the handling if I changed those bicycle pumps anyway...

Thanks
