Default Predator Motor Mount for TC and Evo
So last weekend the front motor mount of my new bike (2011 FXDC) went bad and I allready knew that they are two different models of Predator Motor Mounts depending if your bike has a Twincam or an Evo... but my question is why is that since the oem front isolator mount hasn't change 47583-90B, what HAS change is the bracket that attaches the isolator to the engine.

Could it be posible to mod the EVO Predator Mount to fit my Twincam engine?

Just off the top of my head, I'm guessing if/when you modify the Predator,,, you'll loose what the Predator is all about. Instead of it being designed and tuned for the specific model,, it becomes just another mount.
Look at it this way,, if they where the same or capable of being modified/used on both engines,, Why would they market 2 models?

But are they really tuned differently for the Evo and the Twincam with different components?

The evo will fit the twincam but the twincam won't fit the evo. The case mounts block the hole

Why not just order the right one for your motorcycle?

Too easy?
