I plan on installing the rest of the Glide-Pro system in the winter. Other than that, they're great bikes.

Congrats and welcome to the forum!
how expensive was the Glide-Pro? It obviously made a great difference if your going to get the rest of the system. Ive never paid a great deal of attention to the vibration. Im afraid I will now. haha

The front mount was $98. Great guy to work/deal with. Real informative site, too (install videos, etc).
