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.

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.

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.
