I had the glide-pro installed and it works really great. When I do a sweeping curb before, I use to get scared really bad! I never regretted having installed it on my ultra classic electric glide. I get the wobble before it was installed.Now no more wobble. The glide-pro feels like its grabbing on the rain groves. Anyway, Jake if you are reading this, you will remember me. I am the guy with the cobalt blue and silver 2007 ultra classic electra glide and I've been showing it to all my friends and they all love it. Thanks for a great product.The glide-pro made me enjoy riding my Harley more.
Will the glide pro help with a high speed wobble? My 07 FLHT seems solid in corners but when it hits 90mph on straight flat interstate it starts dancing. The bars wobble back and forth, but Im not sure if the rear is starting the movement or if the front end is doing it on its own. Any time it has done it I didn't stay at that speed long enough to really analyze it. The pucker factor took over. It doesnt matter if you accelerate slowly to 90 or are really tearing on it.
I would like to do the motor mount, have not noticed the rear wobble yet. Will the front motor mount cut down on the vibration at idle??
Haven't noticed any decrease in vibes at idle since installing the motor mount on my '07 last year, but for me that's OK as I dig the vibes. It's what separates a Harley from the counter-balanced wannabes, LOL.
Bought mine as it's unaffected by oil & solvents at oil change time, unlike the OEM mount...
Good company to deal with. Good communication & fast shipping.
I installed system on my 05 RK while back, 1st did swingarm bushings then front motor mount when they became available.Adding the motor mount made big diff. yes there's a little more vibes,but I thought bike "settled in " after some miles, very happy, better in the corners & no high speed wobble I'm very happy & they're pleasure to do business with.By the way I see he's upgraded bushings, don't know how much diff. will make, mine has previous swingarm bushings.
Buddy of mine put one on his 08 Ultra and took it off the next day. Didn't like the added vibration in the floor boards.
I think he states a 500 mile break-in. I don't see how anyone can complain if they don't give the system time to settle in as per instructions. I did notice a little buzz for first few test runs but seems great now as I'm getting over the 500 mi. mark. I didn't have a real handling issue but did the system as an upgrade. If your having handling issues I think this system makes more sense than hanging something off the frame and transmission which I've tried also.

I think it's your tires (worn or pressure) or neck bearing. Give Jake a call since he's probable heard of this, 619-449-6251 CA. time.
I have had the proto type Glide Pro motor mount in my 07 SG for 17,000 miles works great. Just took it out check it out, still is real good . I then put in Glide Pro's new motor mount.
I believe this is the best motor mount on the market and you can get it. The old fix with a Buel mount was'nt bad, hard get, back yard fix. Now you get nice smooth mount that last.
So I did the install before leaving for Southern Missouri and Arkansas March 5th- all I can say is WOW what a difference!! No wobble, no nothing less vibration and wholly stable!!! The bike honestly has never felt so good! I had tried a few things but glide pro made the difference!! Totally stable at high speeds and also into the twisties!!! Everything said positive is true! It was easily installed and the videos are priceless answering any questions that came up. Put on 2k and was/am totally impressed by the feel and stability of the motor mount and rear bushings!!!!
What yr. And model bike. 21" front wheel or not.
I have 07 SG with 21/18 wheels. Anybody running similar with good results? Particularly in fast curves uneven or bumpy.
