I just did my full premium Ohlins front and rear suspension, but I forgot about the craptastic silicone/rubber "cleveblocks" and frt lower motor mount...despite having already changed both utilizing OEM parts. Apparently, glide pro's items result in less motor vibration and better handling. I also apparently have the "old" (original) true-track which is now listed as being for "casual, less-aggressive riders who don't scrape boards often". I'll have to investigate as to just what exactly is suitable for maniac, corner-carving board-dragging "pro" riders, like myself.

I know True-track will try to sell me their "bearing bronze" rear axle bushings. I don't doubt the handling will be improved as solid metal bushings are much firmer than the OEM cleveblocks, I'm also sure they do nothing for the existing damping/isolation from the engine and may add additional harshness.
