Hello, I know theres alot of topics about this subject but I've read almost all of them and still can't decide wich way to go.
So theres a few options out there:
- Predator VCS - front / Sputhe - rear
- Predator VCS - front / BBC/Chopper Hauss - rear
- BBC/Chopper Hauss - front / BBC/Chopper Hauss - rear
- BBC/Chopper Hauss - front / Sputhe - rear
- Sputhe - front and rear
What I've gathered so far:
- Predator VCS - Moves the isolator to the front of the frame and have a stabilizer link built into it. Makes sense and people seem to love this product, very little complaints.
- True Trank / Sputhe - Just ads stabilizer links to the front and rear, cheaper then the others, people also seem to like and recomend this.
- BBC/Chopper Hauss front mount - Touring style 2 point mount, seems like a good product but I couldn't find any reviews on this mounts.
- BBC/Chopper Hauss rear mount - I don't get why this design would be better then the stock one. From the reviews I've read, some like them and some hate them.
Google dyna front mount shimming & shaving. I started to get a little vibration in my pegs when my bike was cold at the end of last season. I was going to replace but I decided to try the shimming & shaving routine. Works great . Some will say if you are going to pull the mount you might as well replace, well it took about 10 minuets to pull the mount. Isolates just fine for now. Not the best picture!
Predator front mount with Sputhe stabilizer and new factory mount rear.
I installed the Predator first then had to lever the engine forward about 1/4" to line up the new rear mount, which required re-doing the front mount again.
Shimming the front mount is probably to compensate for this rearward shift of the power train. Lipstick on a bulldog, IMHO.

Well like I said no vibration and the bulldog tracks strait as an arrow. When it’s time I will go with the predator or the mesh mount. Some have said they experienced more vibration at idle with the predator.

Reason: Add statements
The more I think about it, the more I think the shift rearward is responsible for the failure of the front mount. Shimming it may give it a new lease on life, but doesn't address the real problem.
I'm thinking the design of the Predator may be more resistant to that force, but for how long?
