I'm happy with it right now, but the only real way to tell is if it doesn't do those squirrley things my previous FL's did without it. And so far it hasn't. Was running at pretty good speeds yesterday, and the only thing squirrley was the front end, which will be corrected by the Traxxion Cartridges. Will the Sta-Bo's add more or fight the TrueTrack? That's the question I need answered. The bike being a little stiffer doesn't bother me, but I don't want one to counteract the other and make things worse. This is the first I'm hearing of this issue. Like I said, I've had the TT on since day one, and it seems to be doing its job. I have the Stay-Bo's on order. I hope it's not a mistake trying both! Hoist!
It's not Howie. On the red bike they're both there. Or at least a variation thereof.
The RideStr8 had been on for a long time. Installed the StaBo bushings and unhooked the link from the RideStr8. Just to feel it separately. Was still stiffer and straighter than stock. But in a way that felt different than was the gain from the RideStr8.
Hooked the link from the RideStr8 back up to run both products together. Stiffer yet. More rigid but definitely not feeling like a hardtail. Not even close. Just a surprisingly stiff and straight tracking rear end for a modern FL. I prefer them that way. So I immediately liked the combination.
Have looked at the geometry impacted by either. And the components impacted by either. They aren't working at cross purposes. More accurately working from different starting points toward the same purpose. Fare more complementary than redundant.
Some may not like the stiffer feel that is gained this way. I do. Don't hesitate to use them together and see what you think. If you don't like the feel it's only another 20 minutes to take the new StaBo parts back out.
