Default Glide-Pro Front Motor Mount

Have any of you had a Glide-Pro front motor mount fail prematurely or any other issues with them? I want to order one for my bike but, at $100.00, I'd like to be sure about it. I see a lot of positive reviews. Thanks!

I only use oem mounts. I tried velva ride and others all of them failed. My fxr would eat those up for lunch. It did have a 127.

I seem to remember a recommendation for a Buell front mount.

OEM for mine is $60.00 or , I could get a Drag Specialties for $20.00 but doubt that they are any good.
