I have one on my SERK.  I can't compare it to the others since I have never used their products.  I am waiting for Twolane to check mine out and see what he thinks.  Price was the main factor for purchasing this brand of stablizer.  I got a real good deal on ebay, and put the left over cash towards a set of progressive 440's.     For some reason that extra cash never goes back into my pocket.

I have it on my 05 SEEG.  No problems with it so far.  My mechanic convinced me it would make a big difference.  I cannot compare it to the others.  As far as I'm concerned it's a safety feature so what the heck?  My mechanic said he would take it off and give me full credit if I was not happy with it.  I only use the 05 for solo riding now and have not spent alot of time in the mountains on it lately so hard to tell.  No downside though.

Have one sitting in the garage since Spring Daytona. Been waiting for my oil pan to come back from the chromer. Still waiting

Will give a report when everything is installed. I dont think anyone has a bike that wobbles, shimmies and sways more than mine does.

Wow!!! Where is the drool emoticon when you need it. I can't wait to see that. OCD at it's finest.

One thing I need to finish the rear is a braided rear brake line.  Do you know a part number for this?

Not off hand I'll keep my eyes open and if I find something I'll let you know.

So, that's two things we have in common!

Brian, there is no HD P/N for a Braided SS rear BL. They don't offer one. Goodridge makes one, and if you use PM Calipers, they supply one.

Hoist!

Brian,
I've attached a parts sheet that I downloaded from Goodridge that Howie mentioned, and it will give you P/N's. Also here is the link to the website - Goodridge USA. I also found that J&P Cycles carries them - Goodridge Rear Brake Line For 1997-2006 FLT, FLH.

I'm having TXR put on my bike this week end, also Metzeler tires hopeing for better handling. Has any one put on TXR on there bike. If so what can you tell me about it. Thanks as always.

Got it back this PM and took off.  First ride [about 25 miles] seems to show system doing what it's supposed to do.  Rides more solid somehow at speed [75-85 cruising] and took a nice twisty [Box Canyon for anyone in SoCal] that I felt more comfort running at higher speeds. More lean with ease through turns I've done a couple of hundred times.  Too F#$%ing hot here  to ride more today.  Temp hit 117 in my backyard ....
If the weather breaks I'll take a run up the coast and report.
Worth noting the theoretical difference between this and trutrack; the lit from Alloy Art says that the system is designed to TRIANGULATE the front, rear and engine.  Trutrack just locks up front and rear and doesn't link to engine.  Any of the engineers here have any thoughts about the differences?
I'm trying to get design explanation from Alloy Art and will post if they respond.

I'm not familiar with the TXR, but it sounds like a bunch of marketing BS to me. The True-Track is a 3rd Stabilizer Link point that ties the chassis to the engine in a 3rd location. From the frame to the bottom of the transmission pan, which is connected to the engine of course. I don't know about all this triangulation stuff. But your  other 2 stabilizers tie in the same way the True-Track does. You might feel more confident with it now that you did it. But you should't feel any difference with it. It's what you won't feel, the high speed wobble, that makes these work. And so far, up to 130, I've never had a bit of wobble with the True-Track. Is it the True-Track or is it the bike? I don't know. But I'm not taking mine off to find out!

Hoist!
