Hey mw, can you take a lower profile picture (I want to see how much ground clearance you lose)

Wow! Let the sparks fly!!  [smiley=wreck.gif]  103tHunDer is right. The bottom of the bracket sits about even with the exhaust pipe. The other piece bolts up to the oil pan. I will try to get some better pics when I get home.

In the above pic my bike is on a lift with the wheel hangin free. There is plenty of clearance between the swingarm and the stabilizer arm. Tommorrow if I have time I will try to get it on the lift and measure the clearance.

MW obviously from the pictures of my TRUE-TRACK you can tell that I have a great interest in this product, but before I drop another 5 bills, I do not want to leave any stones unturned!!! [smiley=wall.gif]

mw, can you check with Dan to see if there would be any interest in getting a group buy going with this and what the bracket pricing might be?

After reading everyone's comments about the 440 shocks, I decided to bite the bullet and give 'em a try.  It was the best $400.00 I've ever spent on a bike!  Not only was the ride MUCH  smoother, but, the bike doesn't bottom out as it did with the stock shocks.  The only problem after the installation is now I notice how crappy the front shocks are.  Has anyone tried the Progressive front springs?????

"I have the True-Track installed which makes the cornering angle worse/less than stock."

I installed a set-up called Ride-Str8. A friend at work (aerospace design engineer) designed and makes them. It uses an OEM swing arm bracket with a 3/8" cold rolled steel bracket welded to it. Attached to that is a stabilizer arm that attaches to another bracket that bolts on to the oil pan. I put one on my bike and so far no wobbles. Its a nice set-up and took about an hour and a half to install. It does not affect ground clearance at all.


MW in your picture their is a little black o-ring (it appears to be rubber), what is it used for? or is that a mistake having it in the picture?

It is a rubber o-ring. It's used to keep the stabilizer link from vibrating against the bracket.  [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]
