Does anyone know of a US dealer that sells this mount? I don't have a PAY PAL account and I want to pay with a money order, but I haven't found any way to send a money order to England.

 

installed the predator/vibratechnics mount yesterday
with only 10,000 on stock mount it wasn't looking too good

have not ridden it yet, but had it on my 06 and seemed to be an inprovement

 

Go to Walmart or Walgreens and buy a prepaid debit card. There like a $3 charge to put money on the card, so put a little extra on it to cover fee's.
Then do this, all you need is a debit or credit card;

Thats awesome, John

 

pretty sure you dont have to have a PayPal account, you can pay them with a credit card through PP because they have the PP account.

 

Thanks John this is all good info. I went to Walmart today to buy a prepaid debit card and the casher warned me to be careful. She said not all merchants would except a prepaid debit card. Ever heard of that?

 

I got my mount installed today. It took longer to get set up for the job than the job of installing the mount took. The install took 30 minutes at the most. I have no lift and my bottle jack is too tall to fit under the bike. What I ended up doing was running a couple of ropes from the frame up to the ceiling where my garage door tracks are attached. This way I could stand the bike level and not worry about the bike falling over. For back up I blocked the framed on both sides and hammered in shims until the blocks were tight to the frame. I also blocked the rear wheel so it wouldn't move fore and aft.

With that done I used a light duty hydraulic floor jack with a block of wood to lift the engine slightly. I removed the two upper stock mounting bolts and the two bottom bolts. By raising the engine a tad I was able to take the stock mount out in one piece and put the Predator mount in place without removing the bottom half. It slid into place in one piece. Then I lowered the engine slightly so the lower holes lined up. Torqued the upper and lower mounting bolts and lowered the jack all the way. Then I grabbed the pipes and wiggled the engine a bit as well as shaking the bike with the handle bars to the mount would settle and find it's center. Then I torqued the center bolt to 45 lb/ft.
My bike is a 2014 and comes with the plastic bracket that holds a couple of connectors. This bracket I knew rubs against the top front of the Predator mount. I had removed my bracket in advance and gently heated the plastic where is lines up with the bottom edge of the regulator. I bent the mount forwards about 5/8" or so. When I re-installed the bracket and regulator I had to reroute the wires for the two plugs that the bracket holds in front of the two harnesses the exit the bottom of the regulator as with the bracket bent forwards the wires were getting pulled on by the regulator. By doing this it left me with a good 1/2" of clearence between the bracket and the mount. No rubbing problems for me. Here are a series of pictures of what I did.

 

Good stuff Super08. I finally ordered mine on Sunday, so I hope it gets here soon. I hope I don't have to tie mine up like that. I am going to friends garage for the install, which is the local hangout, so I will have plenty of help on hand. Someone will sit on the bike, put their feet on the floor and hold it up, (it is just a matter of providing beer and popcorn) while a couple more of us go at the mount.

I just removed my VT mount yesterday and went back to the stock mount with a sputhe. I ran the VT mount for about 15k miles and really really tried to like it but the motor just felt too sloppy in the frame for my taste. I kept having issues with my pipe hitting my mid peg mount. Going back to the stock mount, the added vibration is noticed immediately but to me the bike feels more solid so I'll deal with the extra vibes. I'm going to sell my VT mount if anyone is interested. It's got some rub marks on the front from rubbing the plastic piece behind the voltage regulator and the top round plug is cracked from trying to remove it but still stays in place
