Question Which Upgraded Motor Mount

Did some searching and can’t get answers...what’s a good aftermarket front motor mount to reduce vibration/what are you guys running?

Glide Pro and Alloy Art are the 2 I know about that I’m not sure of which is better. Both are priced decent at around $100.

Thanks for input

I'm happy enough with the stock H-D mount on my old Glide, complete with S&S 107" engine.

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.

Awesome thanks for the input fellas! Glide Pro front and rear mounts is what I’ll be looking at.

ive seen all those videos on their site and looks like a really well engineered piece. Wish it was a bit cheaper than $400, but is what it is.

yes, I’ve read quite a few posts that the DS unit isn’t worth getting.
