I don't know if I just got ahold of a bad mount or what but after 2 years of use I had to remove my Velva-Ride and put my original mount back on. The Velva-Ride developed a bad vibration between idle and about 60 MPH. I tried all solutions first not believing it was the mount, I inspected the mount very well also and can see nothing wrong with it but I think the rubber part has broken down. With the original mount it is as smooth as can be.
