Glide Pro Motor mount

I received the whole shebang a while back for my 2004, rear mount and front.

I installed the rear and as before the bike tightened right up and handles excellent. I have used the rear improvement since they came out and installed a few on buddies bikes after they rode mine.

Anyhow I was lazy and did not use the front motor mount until recently and what a friggin idiot I was and am for that !!

The motor moves much less, felt vibes were reduced drastically, and I mean drastically !! Almost all the bizarre harmonics I have been chasing are gone and it feels better on the road too.

Once again for me the Glide Pro stuff just works well !!!

If you have a pre 09 bike I highly recommend their products over any of the band aid link fixes as the first step in improvement.

I have yet to find a bike and admit-ably I have experience with only 6-7 bikes using Glide Pro products , that handled and felt worlds better and never was a additional "link" needed afterwards.

If you do this watch the videos !!

Thanks again Jake !!! You fellas are top shelf !!!

'Have the GlidePro on the '05 & '09, very happy with both, especially the '05, no more "new frame envy" on the '05.

Front motor mount is good however the rear swing arm mounts from G P are junk I went threw 4 sets in three years there kept tearing around the steel sleeve they no longer wanted to warranty them so the refunded me like $125 I told them I would work with them on coming up with a fix and they never replied back.

Have a 12 now and havent felt the need for an upgrade, sweepers that got squirrely on the 07 at 75, I can go 85 and dont feel a thing.
OTOH Glide Pro works but is awful expensive, especially re-buying it again.

In 2008 I put the first set on the rear they were just theses orange urethane or rubber inserts that went in the original rear mounts had those in for a couple of years and noticed deteriorating handling so I call G P and they said they have a new mount out and would send me them for $125 or $150. When I took out the orange ones they were mush almost a sticky gell. The new ones consisted of a metal spacer and sleeve with a new machined SS shaft. that was in 2010 or 2011 seemed like good quality rode decent with the new install but in time things got loose again pulled out a rear mount and it was torn G P sent me another set did this 4 times with them. I'm all done I went with the STABO bushing with the original new HD mounts along with True Tracks swing arm bronze bushings this is the ultimate in rear swing arm stability bike goes down the road like its on rails and sweepers at 100 are rock solid.
