Check out this one, it doesn't appear to have any thing to drag in the curves and doesn't require changing the passenger floorboard bracket. Looks pretty clean.

Don't get one of those, I had one and it caused alot of extra vibration. I switched to a true track and it caused no extra vibration and worked alot better than the alloy art. Some say the true track will hit in a hard right hand corner, I drag my boards all the time and I can't seem to hit the true track.[8D]

So my buddy comes into my work today. He's giving me grief because he sold his "ill handling Fatboy" and bought a Roadglide. He goes on to say how it was squirley in back (I think he's squirley) and how he installed one of these true tracs. Now it rides like it's on a rail? Is he full of it? Are these stabalizers really necc? I thought baggers were the best handling right out of the box. To me, that's like buying a new Z06 and having to install a rear sway bar so it will handle right.

My 2006 FLHXI was squirrelly out of the box. Compared to my old bike. But it was the most comfortable bike I ever owned.Added RideStr8t and Progressive 12" 440's to the back and Progessive springs to the front.Then it handled so well I decided the front brakes were not enough. Added Hawg Halter 6 piston calipers with floating rotors. Now it handles and stops. Question for me is. What does the emulator from Race Tech do for the front end?Sorry if I'm showing my ignorance.
Thanks
Gene

I say go with the Alloy Art, I have mine (adjusted correctlt) and there is no feel of vibration that I could tell of over stock.

That's just another area to go wrong. Why buy and have to adjust when you can buy, put on and your riding.No adjusting needed.....

I'm sold on the Ride Str8.

Nope... all you need for the new Z is a set of headers, air box and a good tune! 500 to the rear baby!!! [sm=icon_rock.gif]

Be careful dealing with these True Track guys...hubby bought this set up for his Ultra...took it to the dealer...wouldn't work...dealer called True Track and they told him how to modify it...still wouldn't work...now True Track is saying "tough stuff". Do a search on the forum for them. We are sending this stuff back and asking for a refund. Will keep you posted on our thread about this.

Depending on your frame height it may scrape

I have a new SG and noticed it doesn't track that well at high speed on the highway. Is this product designed to remedy that?
This may be in part due to the D402's tendency to follow ridges in the pavement. Many interstates have longitudinal ridges cut in the pavement to channel water, and these tires can make the bike feel squirrelly at times. I understand the Elite 3 eliminates this tendency, and I will be trying these at my next tire change (after I wear out the new D402 I have here). Metzelers may also help in this regard.
