Rear motor mount upgrade recommendations?
I've got my 2017 Low Rider S pretty well dialed in for me, with properly sprung GP 25mm fork carts and really good Ohins in the back, along with a Predator front mount. However every so often when I am pushing it a bit I feel what I think is the stock rear motor mount showing itself as the weak part of the equation. The Predator is excellent up front, and if they made a rear I'd get it in a heartbeat. But they don't, only fronts. That said, I don't see too many options for the rear: Pretty much only Sputhe, True Track, Chopper Hauss, Custom Cycle Engineering, but not much else.
I'm not taking this on the track, but I'd like to get the rear mount tightened up a bit.
Any recommendations?

I have no personal knowledge about this, but am shopping for a Dyna and have been reading a lot of articles and forum threads about the Dyna motor mounts, vibration, and proper motor mount alignment..

I'm running with Drag Specialties front and rear motor mounts on my (106,000+ mile) Dyna. They are HARD and you will feel some shaking with them, but a more solid feel with road contact. I don't mind a little Old School Harley vibrations . . . makes me fondly remember my 1972 CLCH.

Yes....
In the post #7, John CC said, "I went with the Predator front mount. It eliminates the rearward shifting tendency. I used a factory rear mount and a Sputhe rear stabilizer. No complaints."
I figured it would be one personal experience recommendation for you to consider...
