Default Glide Pro front mount torque

55 deg F. here in southwestern Ontario Canada and sunny so I went for about a 35 Miles ride. Not very far just far enough to warm up the oil and such. A few weeks back as part of a winter to do list i installed a Glide Pro front motor mount on my 03-RKC. The original was split so now was the time. Ive installed a few mounts in the past on other bikes, and this was the first time I tried the Glide-Pro. Went on like a dream, just like the video and instruction said and the main bolt is loose and free to float in the sleeve. I can honestly say i see no difference and in fact there is a tad more vibration especially at idle. So up on the lift and undone the main bolt. Nice and loose, no binding. All is in perfect alignment. Not sure if it was worth the $150 Canadian I spent getting it and shipped all the way from Alberta but the old one was ready to change anyway. According to the instructions installed, it was to be torqued at 20 ft/lbs., although the video says 8 ft/lbs. I tried both and don't see a difference.

Has anyone else used this and what torque did you find best if any?

I recently asked the same question, and contacted the place I purchased it from. 8 pounds was the answer. The instructions that came with mine said 8 pounds, and that seemed pretty light to me. I set mine at 20.
