When I clearanced mine as in the service bulletin, my problem totally went away.
did you do it yourself? or dealer

i just shaved my mount the other day, havent ridden yet

put jack under bike to support engine then its very easy process, you need a real small torque wrench if you want to torque to spec

ended up taking off that raised section of mount, and have about 1.3mm clearance now

also put 1 washer to shim

PREDATOR VIBA-TECNICS front motor mount appears to remove 75% of the vibration and stabilizes the bike when tank slappers would normally appear !

just curious, why did you remove your Vibratechnics?
Have been thinking on installing one when my front one fails, but also like to hear feedback by someone that has tried one.

There are a couple threads on here on them. The vast majority including myself are very happy with the mount. Actually I was overjoyed with mine as it cured all my problems with both vibration and wobble. The bike feels much more planted, like it is on rails. There was only one or two that I seen that had problems with them on their bikes.

I installed this mount on my 06 because i was having wierd vibration issues. The bike had fairly large cams and a drive train that i beat the hell out of for 85,000 miles. So i took off my true track mount and installed this vibraticnics mount and it did help with vibration alot. When i sold that bike i took the vibraticnics mount off because it was so dam exoensive.

my new bike 14 lowrider seems to be smooth just like it is. So now i have a smooth running bike with a true track on the self and a vibraticnics on the self. I wanted to increses the stabillity on the new bike so i installed the vibraticnincs mount on the new bike. On this bike it only seemed to help a little and only added to stabillty a little. I know for a fact that the true track increases stability in a major way, but does nothing for vibration, maybe increases it a bit if anything. So on this bike , since it was already smooth anyway, i thought i would just install the true track instead.

At certain rpms the vibraticnics mount was glass smooth and at other rpms it is similar to stock
