2000-05 FXDX/Mid Control/T Header/ Dougs Fairing
Just swingin by to confirm that this mount doesnt interfere with any of the parts I have on my 2000-05 FXDX/Mid Controls/T Header/ Dougs Chin Spoiler
I am ready to tighten this bike up a little more, install this mount and set fall away tighter than spec as recommended.
Feedback regarding fitment of this combo appreciated.

well I'm learning a few things from this thread. Since I only get some vibes in a very narrow part of the RPM range I think it is safe to say my mounts are not worn yet. After reading most of the thread it seems to be the best determining factor?

I didn't think my front mount was that bad either but closer examining it was sitting flat collapsed hard on the top.
The oil filter right there doesn't help.
I have a Jagg oi cooler with the SS braised lines with high compression fittings and had to temporarily move it to install the VT.
With forwards and 2 into 2 dual exhaust and the oil cooler adapter and lines it all fits nice.

I received mine on Monday. The product looks great. The shipping took way longer than expected and communication was poor imo. The only email I received was the one confirming my order, no status updates or tracking information.
Also when I received the part I was surprised the bottom block wasn't black like it is on the website. I emailed them on Monday asking why this was and still haven't heard anything from them. Can't wait to put it on and go for a ride.

Still haven't heard back from VT regarding the block not being black like its shown in the pictures... oh well.
My new rear mount showed up today so I decided to install them both. The install went great, no issues of any kind. The test ride afterwards also went well. The only real vibration while riding was cruising around 2500 rpm at lowerish speeds. Freeway riding was very smooth. The bike in general just felt more refined if that makes any since.

Its strange that they havent got back to you, me and others have had no issues on getting in contact with them.
For me after the installation its all real smooth and it feels very rigid/stiff (for me thats good but I think others could see that as more vibration at lower rpm) but since I want this to perform its best at highways speeds I'm 100% satisfied!

If anyone is interested in saving a few bucks on one of these, check out the dyna parts section. I put these on two bikes and they are nice. If or when I ever get my bike tuned, It will be the smoothest it's ever been. This is in a 117ci motor.
