[quote=grbrown;6929783 I have True-Track kits on both my Dyna and Glide ... because they introduced them. The other brands seem to have jumped on the band wagon!

You can also claim that others improved on the concept, others are smaller more compact, perhaps better implemented. Being first doesn't always mean the best, although the TT does function well.

 

Alan Sputhe jumped on the Harley bandwagon back in 1973. He first offered Dyna aluminum swingarms in 2002 and made his first stabilizers in 2005. I think I've had mine for at least 4 years now; just replaced a couple of the hiem joints on my recent chassis alignment; wouldn't hesitate to put 'em on my next bike (if there is a next bike.....)
I'm sure, from all reports here, that the sponsers product is as good.

 

i actually called sputhe first and got no answer after a few try's, so i called true trac and ordered. allan sputhe did call be back a couple of later and i thought that was cool, however my true trac was already shipped.

 

The true track works to perfection. That Rube Goldberg alloy art thing looks strange. The front true-track will fit under a Rick Doss front spoiler. I have one.

 

I think the alloy art looks killer !! Just want more real world feedback. Also does the front true track work with HD oil cooler?

 

I think the alloy art may interfere with the typical jack, but I could be mistaken there. There was some technical or fitment reason I couldn't go with it last summer besides the cost.

You have to modify the cooler bracket (bending I think) or fabricate a new one as mentioned in the thread below.

The Sputhe version is smaller and I think easier to fit with a cooler. I ground a bit off of the edges of the oil cooler bracket for clearance with the stabilizer helm joint, added a 7/16 inch spacer that pushed the cooler bracket away from the stabilizer, and used longer motor mount bolts. I also put a spacer under the front cooler bolt so the cooler would not look like its sticking out like a sore thumb. Alan Sputhe said there would not be a strength problem with the minor amount of grinding I did and I have about 8000 miles on the setup without issue.

Glad to hear the TT works to perfection on your bike, but I've heard of many instances, some well documented on this board, where it didn't due to increased vibration.

 

either way... i need one or the other BAD!

 

Can't make any comparison for you, all I can offer is testimonial.
I have the Sputhe on my '09 FXD and consider it the best modification I've done for handling.
It was easy to install took less that a couple of hours, only took as long as it did because I had to remove a muffler to changer the bolts on the rear.
I emailed Sputhe about a concern and got a very quick response from Alan Sputhe along with an explanation for my concern. So I think they have good customer support for a small business.

 

well dr. do you think that because obviously you were not hired, and that seems to be good for us, it appears you are doing great at what you are doing now
