You don't need to adjust the rod length. One end of the rod is attached to an arm that is free to rotate. Length is simply set by tightening the the center mount bolt. The arm uses clamping friction from between the bottom of the angled mount to the center isolator bolt.









Sputhe and true track are better in that that they use beefier mounts and links. Both mounting points have 2 bolts holding them in place.

I can't help with your issues but just wanted to comment on my bike, with my engine/exhaust and the predator mount. .the bike is smooth everywhere. It is possible but there's just so many variables at play I can't say what could be causing your vibrations.

If you need anything more (pics, dims, etc.) I have a brand new one just sitting on my bench waiting. Easy to disassemble or whatever.

Put mine in last night. Pretty easy install. Took the oil filter off to torque the top bolts with a socket. Can anyone tell from the pictures of the stock mount if it looks bad? I don't know what to look for. Thanks,


Had to use the longer bolts due to the chin fairing attaching there also.

Completely shot. You can see how bad it was making contact and rubbing. Check your rear mount. Looks like you had some front to back movement too.

Thank you. Maybe that's why I was hearing and feeling a metal to metal sound when I hit certain bumps, like a clunk.

Check that rear. It might be cooked as well it looks like your front was allowing a lot of movement which strains the rear. With the new front you'll notice a difference on your first turn and first bump

Is it just as easy as the front to change the rear. I can go with a new stock rear with the predator front correct?
