No personal experience with either, but I'm leaning towards True Track because; #1 They are one of our forum sponsors. #2 They offer a discount to forum members.
Since both company's products are emulating an Eric Buell patented concept I don't see much technical difference between them.

maybe you haven't seen the two.

AA and TT are *different* technically.

Sputhe and TrueTrack do share the Buell concept.

the Alloy Art is in the first two pix below......... different concept...............

They all set out to achieve the same thing, as spaceblue said. The engine/transmission/rear-wheel assembly is rubber mounted in the frame and these stabilizers allow the engine to vibrate vertically while providing lateral stability to the rubber mounts. The bike rides better in so many ways it is frustrating Harley don't include them in the original build.

I have True-Track kits on both my Dyna and Glide and they are transformed. I bought them before they started sponsoring HDF and because they introduced them. The other brands seem to have jumped on the band wagon!

While the photo above shoes 'patent pending' I believe they have now been awarded a patent.

I think I'm one of the only people in the Dyna section that has the Alloy Art Stabilizer. As far as tracking it performs its job very well. Also it only mounts in the rear so it leaves the front open for accessories - in my case the chin spoiler. The only drawback is since it mounts below the tranny, it takes away some ground clearance. I lowered the bike at the same time and this can be a PITA with curbs and speed bumps.

Thats some great info there. After the trouble I had with my rear motor mount I'm definitely considering one of these kits.

If you are referring to the Alloy Art model, contact them as there are fitment issues with some of the older models.

I went and met with the owners of True Track for a job interview. Their argument was that they were the first to make this product and that is why theirs is the best. I found that argument lacking myself.
