Hey ftanner, now that you have installed the chrome motor mount bracket and the stabilizer link, what do you think? How do they look? I'm pretty much a chrome junkie when it comes to my bike; but I've hesitated ordering these parts as I've wondered how much they really stand out, especially given their pricey cost.

It looks ALOT better than the stock one. It also looks alot beefier. Whether it really is or not I don't know.
The link is fairly easy to install. Mine came with equal length bolts (like the stock) and I re-used the stock washer on the motor mount--frame mount doesn't need washer. It looks much better than the not so nice stock link which stands out like a sore against the chrom motor (zinc plated steel?). Due to the vibration, be sure to put red loctite on both bolts.
I didn't do the motor mount because I really can't see it and wasn't willing to pay $129 or whatever it cost. The link is more visible and with MVP discount at $45 adds a nice touch to the front of the engine.
