I am going to piggy back on the OP's question about replacement choice with the "when?" on this issue.
I have a 2012 Road Glide with over 50K miles on it, and I'm really good about maintenance. That said, I haven't even thought about motor mount and swing arm bushing replacement. Is that something that most of you would simply replace at a certain time for the sake of maintenance, or would most of you wait for symptoms that clearly indicated it needed to be done? I would tend to to fall into the "stay out in front of it" camp, and if you're like me....when would you just do it?

When to replace is a good question. I did my 01 around 72k. Looked fine. I slather mine in engine oil, and brake cleaner too.
I didn't notice any better ride. But I should do my swing are bushings too.

I installed a Predator last summer, didn't do dick for vibes, but honestly, wasn't expecting it to, bike does seem more stable, and while I'm not a crazy rider, I do ride a lot of twisties and tend to get aggressive here and there, lol can't shake my sport bike days.
