There's a less than glowing review right there!

 

I can't comment on their Dyna-specific product but FWIW, I put one of their front motor mounts on the "Moonraker", my 1985 FXRS exactly 4 years and right at 30,000 mi. ago. Once I got it "dialed in", I haven't had any issues with it whatsoever. If it helps..I can honestly say that cruisin' down I-95 running 80-90 mph is a pure joy.

 

This is important. A couple thin shims are included with the mounts, and it was explained to me that there may be a need for 1, 2, or none, depending on the bike. But once you find the right combo, it should be good for the long haul.

 

So what do you do when 0, 1, 2 don't work?

 

There are tolerance differences from bike to bike, right? The Kinetic mount isn't going to stretch or compress as much as the OEM rubber mount will, that's what the shims are for.. Feel free to call Kinetic, they'll explain it better than I can. But I would say if you're having vibration problems with 0,1, or 2 shims, maybe the problem lies elsewhere.

 

I read the instructions. 0 or 1 should have been fine as far as fitment goes but weren't. 2 spacers was too much but tried anyway. Problem maybe elsewhere. Worn stock mounts were better.

ADD:

I'm beginning to think the front mount might be bent..

 

Nothing. I wouldn't buy used motor mounts. Although they're an upgrade from stock, they're still a part that will wear/break down.

I'm no expert mechanic, but I've installed the front mount twice, and rear mount once and never ran into any fitment issues. Not sure how you're going about it or what issues you're running into, but I did mine with the bike standing straight up on the ground (in a wheel chock), weight on the tires, with a floor jack supporting the engine/driveline and everything just slid together like it was meant to be there.

To the point of installing the front mount twice, I did install just the front mount only in April of 2020, and I remember thinking it was an amazing improvement over the worn out and bad rubber mount. I recently started feeling some wobble and driveline movement and assumed my stock rear mount finally went, but after replacing the rear with a Kinetic Structures mount I decided to check the front and found that the Kinetic Structures mount I installed in April 2020 had failed. I'm not sure why the front mount failed, and I feel like < 3 years is less than expected, but I did notice there was more wire mesh in the new Kinetic Structures mount I replaced it with

I'm happy with the performance of the pair, and the bike handles great through corners and at 120 with no wobble to be found. I can't really opine on the difference of vibration from stock because its not something I really care too much to chase and have removed just about every vibration reducing part on the bike for the sake of a more direct connection to the bike (upgraded riser bushings, riser/moto bar with aluminum Performance Machine grips and Flo foot pegs with Legend suspension front/rear). It feels good at speed and I don't feel like vibration is excessive, but I have read vibration can vary by how well you do the installation. I have two spacers in my front mount on my 2017 FXDLS.

 

I see my comment makes no sense. I didn't realize Max Headflow was the OP; I thought he was offering a set for sale.

 

What difference does that make?

 

Well, it has no effect on the price of tea in China!
