I have been wondering the same thing about the side to side movement. I understand part of it, but as stated, it's still rubber, so in theory, it should still move.
On another note, how do you fine tune alignment with this mount? Does't the Predator mount require alignment adjustments? The VT Predator sits on rubber, so how does that keep the side to side movement under control?
Overall, the BBC mount looks like it would be the quickest to install.

I understand the washers limit side to side movement...but there is still rubber, right? It seems the movement may be restricted by the large rubber o-ring, but not "0" like the Sputh or TT. Those mounts have metal on metal which completely eliminate side to side motion. I am just not seeing what in the BBC mount is restricting side to side other than rubber. The OEM mounts use rubber to restrict, but not eliminate side motion.

I know this is an old post, but I had this mount on for about a year. I replaced it with a new stock rear mount because I had some harsh vibrations. When I took it off, there was so much wear on the top part of the rubber that the center of the mount was making contact with the part of the trans case that the top bolts to. When I replaced it with the stock part, I also bought and installed the true track and now the bike feels like it should. I now have an expensive piece of billet paperweight from the BBC rear mount.

Just my thoughts, I would have a hard time buying anything from BBC based on the problems they have had in the past with there frames. There was a lot of people that were left out in the cold with there frame issues.
Do a google search on this if you want to know about it.
I do like the look of there FXR knock off bike that they are making, but I would never buy one based on there past.

There have been several members over the years that have gone full circle and ended up going with True Track. Trending topics are fun but many of them are repeats. Keep reading,it's the smartest/cheapest thing to do! True Track for the win! lol

Yeah I would sell it. I just finished moving into a new place so I will have to find it. Any extra money I get is good. I just ordered a new clutch, spring, and tensioner. After that I am thinking about swapping my wide glide trees for some mid glide trees. The project is endless.
