Default Anyone change front or rear motor mounts on 09+ bikes?

Looking for anyone who has changed their front motor mounts, or rear mounts?

+ Why'd you change them?
+ Did you go with OEM or aftermarket like glide-pro?
+ Ease of changing, tips/hints?


Thanks.

I've only done the older bikes, but the rear mounts of both bikes are similar. I used OEM which are fine IMHO. Do one end at a time, which requires a jack to support the weight of the engine/trans during dismantling and reassembly (over and above any bike lift you may use to support the bike). Also get the FSM if you don't have one, so you can read up the fine details, before you start dismantling!

Do you think this will hold the motor in place and prevent some of the premature wear some of us are seeing in our rear motor mounts?
