Installation observations
Installed yesterday, unable to ride because of rain but here's my take.
Install was simple. Didn't have the torque offset wrenches as shown in video so I used my years of wrenching touch for torque settings👍. Initial reaction - idle vibrations reduced, still have vibes around 2300-3000 rpm although reduced. Decel/acel vibes almost gone.
Short ride today(between rain) and I am impressed with solid feel especially on curves. No fishtail feel, solid tracking even suspension felt better. The more I rode the more reduced the vibrations felt. I did notice a reduced vibe on hard right curve, maybe I need to do an alignment next.
Overall I'm impressed with the mount. Ordered last Saturday evening and it arrived Tuesday morning. Hardest part of install was removal of stock mount.

I consider myself an aggressive rider. I ride my Dyna like its a sport bike, as much as possible anyway. That being said, with this mount installed the bike feels more nimble, easier to flick around, and I can hold my line better in the corners.
I'm really interested in picking up a stabilizer for the rear now. Only reason i went with the predator front was because I was getting hand numbing vibrations after 2-3 hours and the predator looks like a mount that will last.

Installed a few days ago but didn't really get a chance to ride. Took the bike out today for about 30 minutes. Not sure yet how much of a help it was with vibrations but the front end is tighter.

I don't know what to think, or if I even need one. It seems that every bike is different. This is my first HD, and I only have 3K on it. Obviously, this damn thing shakes more than any other bike I have owned...it's a damn Harley.
My buddy's HDs all have different engines, or are different models. I think mine is better than one of my buddy's Nighttrain is, but if this could be smoother, and possibly help handling, I am willing to shell out for one of these. I may just give it a shot

the vibration on my low rider smooths out good around 2500 rpm, I bought the mount for being more durable and for the stabilizer.

For handling, I'd say it helped alot. But that depends on your riding style. If your not scraping pegs around corners you might not notice a Difference.
Do your abilities exceed the bikes? Do you fear taking corners fast because the bike can't do it but you can? If yes, get the mount or get a true track. If not, don't waste your money.
