I have a 2000 ultra classic, and am looking to replace front motor mount. I have been researching, stock - velva ride - glide pro. I am reading a lot of pros and cons with each, So I decided to ask the experts and see what real world experiences tell me. I am also considering doing the rear kit also. The wifey says the back of the bike feels like it is wiggling at speeds over 60. I don't feel this except under heavy head winds. I have checked all of the fasteners and alignment and so on, it has 2 new commander 2s on it. So I am starting with the questionable front motor mount, and possibly the rear kit. Looking for which mounts are the best. Thank you in advance for all replies.

 

if you get the swing arm kit with poly bushings (got mine from parts unlimited through connections) it comes with a poly front engine mount. does wonders for the swing arm. you will feel more vibration through the poly engine mount, noticeable, but not obnoxious.

 

"Debate" over.

 

Well theres certainly enough experts here on the net lol! I did the glide pro front and rear on my 07, great improvement over stock but expensive. Some had good things to say about velvaride, but for your vintage anything new would be an improvement. Taking in to consideration the wear and degradation of the original bushings.

 

what was the brand of kit or possibly the part #

 

I bought a cheap copy of the glide-pro on ebay,for about $35, 2 years ago. Works great. [The front mount won't make the rear sway,just makes a lot of vibration.
Also,when you put the mount on,follow the instructions. I rode mine about 25 miles with the new mount,had so much vibration I thought something else was wrong.But at about 30 or so miles,it smoothed out and has been vibration free since then.

 

I use the stock parts, which are just fine, although I do also have a True-Track kit.

 

Glide Pro gets my vote

 

The Cleve blocks need to go to solid bushing then new isolaters & front mount(stock or glide pro looks good. Finally installed true track also. Makes for solid rear, also beefed up my swing arm

 

Put a glide pro on the front of my 2002 last fall and couldn't be happier with it.
