Any of you guys that installed your predator mount have any trouble getting clearence between the mount and the plastic that contains all the wires from voltage regulator and a couple more, As soon as I mount the voltage reg back onto frame it pushed the plastic back and makes contact with the mount. I think that is where my vibes in the pegs is comming from. If so what did you do to fix this problem. It is driving me crazy please help asap

I haven't mounted mine yet, but just looking at the design and construction there is no comparison. With my 2014 I will have to bend the plastic bracket that holds two electrical plugs (one for the front oxygen sensor and not sure about the other). This bracket hangs down under the voltage regulator. Some guys just leave it rubbing on the front of the mount but I plan to heat mine with a micro torch to put a permenant bend it it so it isn't rubbing on the mount. One guy just took the bracket off and put some heat shrink around the connectors. This is not a problem on the earlier models that didn't have this braket. It is only found on the later models. You can see the bracket I am referring to in the video below from the 13 to 19 second mark.

I got mine installed yesterday and came up with a solution for the bracket that rubs on the mount.

I couldn't contain myself, the sun came out and I just had to see how that new engine mount felt. I bundled up and took it out for a ride with it being only 31F outside. It was only a 30 minute ride but all I can say is wow! It has transformed the bike. Where it always felt loose going into corners fast and had a disconnected feel is gone. It is like riding a Japanese bike from back in the 70's or 80's. Steering is instant and direct, even the smallest input is rewarded by an immediate response. It has literally transformed the bike to have lightning fast response. I never realized just how much the bike was wallowing before with the rubber mounted engine/swing-arm assembly until now. I highly recommend this to everyone over the stock front mount.
