My Fat Bob needs a new front mount pretty bad and I can't see dropping the $190 the dealer wants for the poorly designed factory mount. Might as well pay a bit more one time and get a proper mount. Thanks guys.
They come from England but I believe shipping is almost the same regardless of where you are. .and fast too. Some FedEx international service. It was on my door the morning after it shipped, but I'm in the US.

I'm sure vibra-technics can work that out. Had mine in one day too by 11am the next morning.

for those with reduced mirror vibes (and tbars)...

I got out on my first ride since installing mx-tbars and noticed a big increase in vibes over the stock mini apes (to be expected, the apes were pretty flexy so likely soaked up a lot of them) - enough that things in the mirrors were buzzing round in circles, not useless but definitely not clear.

Did this help a lot wrt to vibes in the hands and mirror viz?

I still have the original mount with about 40k kms on it, is it time for a replacement?

If you changed the rubber bushings to poly, that would account for the increased buzz with the new bars. Stock bars don't flex, but the rubber bushings do.

i've had poly bushings for a while now, and the stock mini-apes definitely had some flex to them...

You're going to like it. Look how much of the vibrations it absorbs on my Evo.
