Default Front motor mount advice

I am going to replace the motor mount. I have looked around and found velva ride , alloy art , and some cheaper ones, I think i am going with alloy art, I have there stabilizer's on my wide glide and I am happy with them. The one I am replacing is an Fxr.

Well the velva ride mount is $140- alloy $100 - drag spec was $40? . That's why I was looking for some input. Mines a little beat up!

I put a Velva in mine a couple years ago chasing a vibration.

All said and done I'll put an OEM one in when the time comes

Still have the same OEM active with some larger engines and holding. Just checking out motor mounts and swing arm bushings on the Twinikie which has the same frame as the Evo. Drag copied the Velva Ride for $40, just installed new Drag swingarm bushings in the Twinkie and took care of the vibration, seems like HD wants so much for items like this and was willing to TRY something different, will see it it holds up but can replace them 3 times for the price of HD's
