Has anyone tried the case saver from trackerdie? You just install it under your cam cover, easy...! It reduces the chance to break your front motor mount. Just ordered one to test it. Cheap way to insure your dyna if you do some hooligan stuff... or maybe not?
I'm not in the hooning circle, but if you spend a lot of time on one wheel why not just install solid mounts? Would make power transfer much more efficient and predictable.

It's not necessarily the motor mount itself that's the issue, it's the tabs on the front of the case that sit on and bolt to the motor mount. They've been known to break with too much abuse (i.e. - wheelies)
I've got one of the OG Landing Pads, as far as I'm concerned it's cheap insurance, but if the tabs are gonna break, they're gonna break... Don't think the guy makes them anymore. The ones OP posted look nice. I'm nowhere near the skill level of a lot of these guys but I'm just good enough to get myself in trouble if I'm not careful. Is it a guaranteed savior for your cases? Not necessarily, but it seems like one of those things that couldn't hurt to have...
I do like that the one OP posted bolts on, as opposed to the one I use which clamps to the frame with hose clamps. It works, but looks like they improved on the design to clean it up and make it less conspicuous...

If I had the money, I would go for the front and rear engine mount from bbc or chopper hauss. Around 300 usd each, thats a bit much right now. I have to add shipping and tax also - livs in Norway. Yeah, then again I will get better handling by eliminating Harleys bad rubber mount design.
The improved design of the trackerdie allows you to add on spacers to make it fit your bike perfectly. It actually looks more solid than the landing pad!

there is a much better design that pics up the load across the entire motor not just under the timing cover . It also braces the frame.
A weld-on version would be easy and dirt cheap to fabricate. If you want it removable there's plenty of room to weld on mounting blocks inboard of the frame tubes. Fab mount, bolt to blocks, tack weld, finish weld. No need for an engine pull. If you want to experiment with different pads or urethane shapes (many interesting urethane car and truck bushings exist) bolting on the bracket would allow controlled compression and preload of the engine should you want that.
you would have to check out his website. Last time I checked he was in production phase for those parts. In the next couple weeks I think. You may be able to find them on Dynoholics soon too.
