Watch the movement on this. I don't think you can get this kind of movement out of poly and if you have a poly on the rear and not the front I think the rear is going to be doing all the work. They probably need to be matched. Here's a crappy video I need to take a better one but can't until my VOES comes in it won't stay running.
Thats what I intend to find out.

I didn't know they make mount for EVO as well.

Polyurethane will not decrease vibration. Thats not really its purpose. It is for better handling only. The only way you MAY see a decrease in vibration is if you have a failed stock mount, and you replace with the new one... The poly mount will eliminate the need for a Sputhe/True-Track stabilizer. On the flip side...the Vibra Technics mount gives you reduced vibration (because of the more rubber-like elastomer), and the handling (lateral stabilizing link).
However, if my REAR mount fails...I will definately be buying one of these....and eliminate my REAR Tru-Track stabilizer. Heck..i may just get one anyway...just to get rid of the rear.

Polyurethane can be designed to meet specific requirements, such as skateboard wheels, engine mounts and bushings. These mounts are not rock solid like skate wheels but are of a softer poly compound. I'm still using my sputhe but I'm guessing that you could get rid of the sputhe and be just fine. I've gone through 3 sets of stock motor mounts in the lifetime my 2002 dyna and the front mount always seems to go first. I wished these mounts would have come out a long time ago...would have saved me money. BTW, the vibra-mount is an excellent design as well and I think the rear glide-pro mounts would be an excellent match.

Pretty spendy, when I can get H-D replacements mounts at 20% off thru Surdyke H-D.
Paid $81.26 incl. shipping for the rear mount & probably a similar $$ amount for the front.
Actually just replaced my front mount last Fri. & will replace the rear in the next couple of weeks. Also have the Sputhe stabilizers.
Might give the Glide-Pro mount a try if they came down in price a bit, no, make that a lot.
