Just got the new mount in from Glide-pro this morning and will install it this weekend. Hope its all everyone says it is. Cost me $150 Canadian with shipping from Alberta to Ontario Canada.

you wont regret it.........did wonders for my bike!!

 

Pay close attention to proper centering. There is a video somewhere that describes it. The center bolt should be free to slide up and down if the mount is properly centered, if you don't get it centered, you will have extra vibration and be disappointed with the mount. Get it properly centered and you should be delighted.

 

mine works I will buy another when this one wears out.

 

You are getting great advice here. I installed one on my FLHX about a year ago and it performs as advertised.

 

This is good to hear, after going to the darkside I've had some handling issues at higher speeds. I realigned the bike which improved things some but I like to ride hard and right now the stability isn't very confidence inspiring. If the car tire has to go to get the handling back then it will get tossed but I've decided to replace all the likely culprits first. Glide pro front mount, upgraded swing arm spherical bearings, new rubber mounts for the swing arm bushings, and new rear wheel bearings. I have everything but the glide pro mount. I'll get the rest changed out over the Thanksgiving weekend and do the glide pro mount when it comes in.

 

Ok so I took off work early today and went home and installed the mount. Pretty easy and as per instructions and the online video, it is centered dead on and the main bolt is NOT binding in any way. I double checked it too and torqued it to 10 ft/lbs like the vid says. I honestly don't see a difference. My original mount was split and that is the only reason I put this on. About a year and a half ago I installed the Drag Specialties mount and took it off immediately. Reinstalled the original split mount I was still running prior to today. Its 44 deg F out but sunny so I took it for ride and didn't see a difference and in fact seemed just a tiny smidgen more vibration. I assume it may have to break in. When I got back I loosed the main bolt and it was NOT binding in any way. So Ill see how it goes. The front mount needed replacement anyway so I can live with what ever it does now. Good quality part though.
