Default predator motor mounts

I finally wanted to pull the trigger on the predator front motor mount and went to the website only to see that it was not uploading. Does any one know what is up with that?

I have been watching this part for sometime know. So today I pulled up a video of the installation of it. This thing looks amazing, I can't get over how much it smooths out the vibrations from the motor.

I sent Phil an Email letting him know his Website is not loading here in the States. Has not got back to me yet. I think it's around 8 or 9pm out there.

I recently installed the predator mount. Does less for vibration and more for stability on my bike. Also one key point I wanted to point out: in the installation video above, the mount was installed into the frame in 2 pieces...but i was able to get it in there in one piece, line it up and tighten it down.

I made the video for Vibra-Technics Website. I followed their instruction sheet except taking off the oil filter. That saved some time and I didn't have to mess around with the oil.


Good for you, fxdc. Now you found a way to save more time with the installation. I tried to fit the mount in one piece from the front and form the bottom and it wouldn't fit.

Thanks tomt. At first i was concerned i didn't install it right. i'm not sure if it has to do with the height i had the engine jacked up or that my bike is newer or that i just got lucky. but i'll take it lol.

I recently installed mine - super easy if you take off oil filter and put 3/4" piece of wood under the motor on the Seers or HF jack. It keeps motor in place even when you take off mount - couldn't believe how easy it was after that.

My wobbles are cured - main reason why I did it. My GF said it got smoother. Definitely feels better on handlebars, on pegs I think vibration got different. similar to what I got with shimmed OEM mount

Does anyone know if this will fit the '15 Street Bob? Website says to '13. I sent them an email about a week ago and have heard nothing back.
thanks
