Don't be too quick too change out the rear.. The stiffer rear mount will help to stabilize the rear suspension without contributing to added vibes..
But I would definitely replace the front with an OEM..
I'm running a Kinetic stainless mount on the rear (thanks to Max) and an OEM on front of my 2013 Dyna..
The more solid front mounts will transfer a lot mire vibes..

I had to replace the front mount in my 2003 FXDWG a few years ago. My dealer told me they could no longer get the mounts from Harley so I got a DS mount. I did notice increased vibration after installing it, but thankfully I put in a six speed gearset years ago so on the highway it still isn't too bad. I definitely notice it at other speeds.
I wonder if my dealer was correct? Are the OEM mounts for older twinkies no longer available? Does any aftermarket company still make rubber engine mounts?
Just checked the HD OEM Service Parts finder. The front and rear isolator mounts are still available from Harley.
The "purchase options" button showed my local dealer has at least one of each available for pick-up today.
