I can tell you what not to get, imo that drag specialty one for 20$ is in a bucket of bolts now, was not going to put that thing on and the stock mount with 80k miles on it looked far better.
Another happy Glide Pro owner. It has been on the bike for about 7 years and 70,000 miles. I was attracted by the "oil proof" claim, as I have never changed an oil filter without some oil dripping onto the engine mount. I noticed no increase in vibration compared to the factory mount. I paid very close attention to the mounting instructions and ensured the mount was properly centered under the engine tab. Decide NOW if you might want the full kit including swing arm bushings and a replacement shaft. The engine mount is available as a stand alone piece, but I believe the swing arm kit can not be gotten without the engine mount.

yes, I’ve read quite a few posts that the DS unit isn’t worth getting.
I will second that on the ds mount, made bike un rideable, got a glide pro and I am happy. I also did true track which is a nice upgrade. Bike is very stable now.
