Default Balance Master Compensator

In a book called "101 Harley-Davidson Twin Cam Performance Projects", one of the projects is addition of a "Ballance Master compensor kit, manufactured by Sun-Tech Innovations. The book says it reduces vibrations on an 88 that doesn't have the counter balance like the 88B.
Has anyone tried this compensator? I'm trying to reduce the vibration that has appeared after the dealer installed the new style front motor mount on my 2000 RK Classic.

Never tried one on a twin cam, but I put one on my Evo chopper (rigid mount motor) and it made a big difference.

Put one on my '96 RK and it made a moderate difference at a vibration point between about 65 and 70 mph, but I noticed no difference anywhere else. I wouldn't consider it on my '07 SG, as it's very smooth as it is.
