Stay with the OEM part. 16207-79C

Having broke about all of them over the years the C version of the stock mount holds up best with the least vibration.

Go with the Glide-pro front motor mount, best by far.

Using glide pro front and rear. Amazing product and equally amazing results.  Made the ride so much more tight precise. Well worth the investment.

Totally agree, fitted mine 4 years ago, still rides as good now as the day I fitted it.

Me too ('05 SEEG) and after the front mount was replaced 2x (with Harley "updated" mounts) the GlidePro is much smoother at lower RPMs..

I installed glide pro motor mounts on my 2010 CVO Ultra Classic. I didn't notice any difference from oem & I regret having spent 2 to 3 times the amount of money as the oem price.

Check the center bolt on the mounting, IS IT LOOSE? it should be, you should be able to move it in hole at the center of the mounting!!  If not, loosen the center bolt and the 2 mount to frame bolts just enough to allow the mounting to move, then run the engine for a few miles, check the bolt is able to move in the center, then tighten all up, As per glide-pro instructions..
Worked for me.

The product for the 2009 and later bikes isn't the same as for the 2008 and previous models.  While the 2008 and previous models could use all the help they could get, the late model mounting system and the stiffer frame and swingarm were enough of an improvement that the vast majority have felt no need to tinker with the aftermarket "fixes" being offered.  Perhaps what you experienced is what I've commented on many times before; some companies that offered stabilizers and mounts to improve the older models have continued to offer products for the new models and push those new products by implying the new bikes have the same problems as the old bikes.  In other words, selling stuff whether there is a real need or not.  Perhaps that is why you don't notice much difference.

Not to hijack your thread, but what does a bad or broken MM "feel" like on the bike?
