what are your thoughts on the BIGBEAR motor mount

I like mounting them down there on my bikes. And im not crazy about the battery cover ones.

As for the big bear mount I guess its good but it still leaves me with no rear stabilization. And its not cheap. I think the best and most effective set up is front and rear stabilization. My other bike is an fxr with a huge engine and custom suspension. And a ton of crazy go fast parts. I like bikes that I can really get aggressive on I ride them hard. I believe there is no getting around the fact these bikes have a design flaw. But other than that I really love this bike. I just want to gather as much info as I can before I choose which company to spend my $400 with.
I appreciate all the feedback thank you

I got the predator on front and the True track in rear. Rides like it's on rails. And I don't have to truck with the front mounts going soft any more.

I had the same issue.. Decel from 2500 to 2000 felt like the bike was having an epileptic fit.. Smoother at 3000 and above but the stock really wasn't that bad at those Rs.

While TT may hold the patent, I kind of wonder if it was a "first to file" patent as I remember buying my Sputhe back in about 2004-2006. Look at the filing date for the TT.. I do know when I bought the sputhe system, TT was not making a TT for the dynas but only the baggers.

I've not seen a patent take 5 1/2 years to complete.. Wonder what the issues were.

There is a way to stabilize that mount easily. I'm not really sure that it's needed tho.. Dynas really don't carry much mounted weight, low and to the rear like a bagger except for maybe the Switchback.

Fair enough. We all gotta prioritize.

Patents easily take 5 years to obtain. 10 years is not unheard of. Like everything related to the government, the US Patent Office is sadly understaffed and behind. I do know that the True Trac designer died 4 years ago...so they had to have it that long. If other parties are already building your design before you file for a patent, that is grounds for denial.

So, I don't know the story, but I doubt the Sputhe came first. Remember a patent is for the idea...so if they got the patent on one type bike, it applies to all like designs unless there is a substantial difference to argue it's a "new" design.

Oh, for those having engine mount rotation issues, the True Trac does have a stop designed in to print excessive motor movement vertically.

I'm sure they can.. But from what I've read the average is 3 years.. The one I did took a little over 2..

Not sure what the differences are between the TT patent and the Brendelson patent US 7,201,246. Which only took 2 years BTW.. It was filed in 2005 and issued in 07. As far as I can tell they both use a link in the rear..

I finally got around to installing the True Trac. The front is fairly easy, since the access is wide open. I changed the mounts while adding the True Trac, so that added a little work to the job. The rear mount is trickier. You have to remove the lower belt guard, and I also had to break open the rear break lines and rotate the master cylinder to access the rear mount bolts on the right side. Threading the bolts on the left of the bike into the true Trac plate on the right was the most time consuming part of the job.

Total time was a couple hours with the mount change too.

There is a subtle but very definite improvement with the True Trac. The fresh engine mounts have reduced vibration by at least half, while the bike feels tight now. I used to get a 'loose" feeling at all speeds. Part of tightening it up, is seems to break the tires easier in both acceleration and braking. I'm sure that's from the reduced flexing in the drive line.

As far as riding, overall I think the True Trac is very worth the time and money. No more loose feeling or squirming on the freeway. That said, I can also see how riders who never scrape their pegs would completely miss the difference. It's there, but it is subtle at low speeds. At higher speeds it is much more of a difference.

Definitely should be high on your Dyna wish list!
