103tHunDer,
Have you found this to be worth the $480?

Here is a thread that talked about the Ride Str8 as several were working through a group purchase of the device. The discussion led up to and through the purchase so included some ride results too.

I think that's a personal choice. If it were just me I pobably wouldn't buy it but since I ride two up 90% of the time I'm strongly considering it. If it ever got away from me and I hurt someone else? [smiley=confused5.gif] :'( [smiley=confused5.gif]

Don't know about the Ride Str8 but I have a True-Track and wouldn't ride a rubber mount without one. Takes a little re-learning since it tends to make your rear brakes a lot more active than you're used to (ie:you'll lock em up a couple of times at first) but the difference in the way the rear of the bike carves through corners instead of looping around them has to be felt to be understood. Also, it seems to cut down on drift on rain grooved highways here in Cal. Hope that helps ;)

[highlight]Er Uh.......what Spider said about True-Track. [/highlight]
It makes a difference, and once you adjust to the difference in braking. Both vendors seem decent, and of course know the +'s & -'s of each others products.
Will down at True Track is responsive and that makes a difference.

To those of you that are familiar with both, do you know if either is compatable with a center stand?

MJZ,
The Tru-Trac cannot be used with the center stand, since they both mount to the "dog bone" frame cross brace.

I'm confused Not saying I'm right and you're wrong, so bear with me as I walk through this. I thought a center stand bolted to the front of the frame under the front motor mount. The True-Track does indeed bolt to the cross member under the transmission which is about a foot from the front of the motor. Also I didn't think you could mount a center stand on any of our 103 cid CVO bikes because of the oil cooler brkt. Please explain

Which bracket gets replaced and will the Ride-Str8 fit with the revco center stand? Anyone intrested in another group purchase?

The Ride-str8's have been installed on several of the members here since September. How do you feel about it yours? Was it worth it? If yes, I would be interested in a group buy. I just put the Rivco center stand on and I love it.

Hey JR, as I look at the 1" of ice on my deck and the forecast for more bad weather all week, I realize I should have dropped my bike off Thursday at Collierville. With all this ice, I sure hope they don't start with the salt out there. At least the olympics are on. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

Yep, and a great day to keep Momma warm too! ::) ;D
The temperature is dropping, it's down to 19 degrees in Collierville now! :o

This thread took a turn towards a Group Buy. Check [link=http://flhrsei.org/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?num=1140289680/0]This Thread[/link] for details.

I will post this question here first. Really a Ride-Str8 vs. True Track question. Pictured below is my in ground lift...LOVE IT! I will not put anything on my bike that will interfere with that, so...for those that know, will either product (maybe both) prevent me from using this lift?
Bare in mind this lift is pretty much just a flat plate that contacts the frame rails from front to rear.
Thanx!

SE_Ultra-
Now that's a lift!! From the pictures I have seen of both, the Ride-Str8 does not interfere at all wheras the True Track does. If I were buying one, I would buy the Ride-Str8 for the question that you are asking.
-
SE_ULTRA,
Take a look at the picture TwoLane posted on his install some time back http://flhrsei.org/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?num=1123085111/135 The Ride-Str8 mounts above the lowest point of the frame, and to the rear below the passenger foot peg mounts. There shouldn't be any interference with your lift.

That pretty much answered my question.
Thanx!
