Where is the site for the TWR?

 

Does the TWR come in black to match the left side?

 

Right here on the forum............

Yeah, Tracy just shows it in the raw aluminum so it'll stand out better in the photos. IRL it's powder coated to match the frame. Beautiful workmanship, great fit, & IT WORKS!

 

I talked to the owner of ride str8 today as I wanted to order one of his units at the group rate. He said that there needed to be 10 members placing orders to get the group rate. I was between the TWR & Ride Str8. I PM'd Tracy & he was great. He answered all my questions & was very helpful. My reason for going w/the Ride Str8 is I run a White Bro's E-series 2 into 1 pipe. It has a weld plate that I think will interfear with Tracy's TWR unit due to the thicker size of the brace. Tracy told me how to measure and it's just too close. I only want to take the exhaust off once & don't want the down time if I had to do a return.

I do think it's a pain to have to send a check in this day & age for the ride str8.I prefer a credit card or paypal. Just that much longer to mail a check across the country. If it wasn't for my exhaust issue, I would go with the TWR due to the ease of ordering & the fact that Tracy is very helpful. I also have never heard him put down the other product which I think shows class.I think both units will perform about the same and agree that they are both some what over priced, but then again very few things aren't when it comes to bike accessories.

I was set to buy the Ride Str8 since reading about the installation of it from American Bagger. I have seen the TWR on eBay, but had never heard anything about it, until I got onto this site. I quickly changed gears as soon as I read all the good raves about TWR, and saw the significant price difference for members, and decided to give it a shot. Tracy was extremely nice, very honest about some of the modifications my bike needed, being a 2002, and evenasked me to contact him if I had any problems changing the bushings to my bike. I've had it one for about a week, and absolutely love it. My handling has improved drastically, and the product is extremely well made. Installation isn't as easy as the Alloy Art, but I have a lowered bike, and wanted to preserve the clearance space I have. I definetly would recommend the TWR anyday.

How does the RideStr8 fit with Rineharts?

 

The design of both the Ride-ST8 and the TWR is vastly different for older models (i.e. 1999). They do not have the large bracket that everyone talks about when discussing the products. Are there any reports on the forum, that I can't seem to find, for the model brackets that fit the older model E-Glides? and are the differences between the TWR and RS8 that are with the newer ones, the same in the older models (cnc'd vs. weld?)

 

Weaver99FLT you and I use the same part numbers for our bikes. I haven't found much information for the early stuff. I have found a few pictures and a couple of different products.

The TWR.

(the pictures won't post, tried 3 times, oh well)


The Missing Link on Grandeur's page. While it has the same name I wonder if it is the same product. The one pictured has an isolating rod end as opposed to two solid rod ends. I like this version. This seems like it would eliminate the vibration that some have said they have felt.

I like the "L" bracket as it seems like it would spread the stress load a little more as opposed to all on one side of the trans case. Than again I don't imagine there is a tremendous amount of stress placed on these brackets.



All of the companies are in the same ball park for price. I'm a dealer for CDC and their retail is on par with every other posted price when it comes to group pricing. I do like the one pictured on the Grandeur site (Don't like them). There isn't much to one of the early kits, a rod assembly and a couple of opposing brackets. I beleive they are priced accordingly at $200 ish.
