Difficult to answer... It all depends on whether the back of your motor is moving side to side or not...

I've noticed my rear fender shakes from side to side when idling.

Just wanted to give an update.

I installed the front Predator mount.

The rubber on the original mount was swelling. Probably from oil changes.

I also replaced the rear mount and installed the Sputhe stabilizer.

Two rivets on the rear mount were snapped.

Night and day difference.

I'm going to replace the top link and do an alignment next weekend.

Here's a photo of the old mounts. You can see how the rivets busted on the rear mount.

Ya, did all the labor myself. The front was pretty easy but the rear was a pain. My HF jack covers the area where the mount should drop out so I did it on the jiffy stand. Aligning everything was a chore.
