Front motor mount

I need to swap the front motor mount as I can see that the old one has started to tear and I am getting excessive vibration, I am not sure which to go with, Velvaride, Sta Bo or Glide Pro, anyone have experience of any of these?

I just installed the Glide Pro, quality product and I like the fact they increased the size of the center bolt. Can't help you with the others.....

I had to change mine out in my '08 due to excessive vibration. Went with Glide Pro and it made a huge difference.

Any of them, including the current stock HD one, are fine. It's rubber - they will all perish over time!

I like the Buell mount; forget the PN L-0501.2 I think. Softer rubber, similar to the early front motor mount which was superseded by the -C and -D mounts but both of those will vibrate a lot like a softail at highway speeds; the Buell mount won't. The Buell mount will likely have to be replaced every 20K-25K miles but worth it IMHO.

Can't speak to the Glide Pro; many like it but say it take some time to settle in. I think if you try the Buell mount, you will like it.

Seconds on the Glide-Pro. Made a huge difference on my 2001 FLHTCUI.
