Hopefully will get it soon, then will give a little writeup on my experience.

Absolutely

Sort of hard to explain; the Wide Glide has taken on a neutral feel in the corners instead of the tendency to 'push' in the corners. Straight line the bike feels much firmer and planted. A slight change in vibration below 2500 RPM but nothing at all unpleasant; just a different 'feel' to it when compared to the OEM mount is all.

A very worthwhile upgrade

What Tin said, but I would also add that I don't foresee the sag issue related to the stock mount and its breakdown do to oil penetration. When I changed my stock mount to this after 55k miles, I didn't really "see" any sag, but noticed it when I went to install the new mount and had to raise the motor to get the holes to line up on the frame side, they were about 1/4-3/8" low.

+1 on BlueAngel73 about sagging, mine is already sagging and ride is fairly new with only just over a 1000 miles on the clock, this is why I am swapping out OEM mount when I finally get Predator, my sagging is nearly 1/2 inch

Yes. My bike had a high speed wobble around 60mph and would get progressively worse. I installed the Predator mount and the wobble is gone.

OK guys looks like the powder coater is back, cool, cant wait to install mine when it arrives.

Hi there Shaun,

Just a quick email to confirm that your mount has been dispatched and is estimated to be delivered to you via UPS on Wednesday 28th June. Thank you for your patience and we apologise again for the delay.

Preadtor mount well worth it. Have had mine for about 3 years now. Truly dose improve handling,gets rid of the rubber band feel in corners if you tend to push it.
. For vibration control, uh can see if yku have a totaly shot mount to start with,but over all it dose much more for handling and wobbles.
. Best part, no more hot gummy bear for a mount after a couple of oil changes.

one thing ill suggest, is to watch glidepros video on alignments on youtube,to make use of the new link.

.
