Hey Sandman, with all due respect, how can anyone 'feel' an engine mount?  I see all this 'flex' stuff, but, belive none of it is noticeable in any way.  For a start, Knobs on the tires, large flex, the tire itself, flex, up to an inch?   Suspension, over 12 inches, your knees, over 12 inches.   Even the soil we ride on, at times has 'give'.   How is anyone ever going to notice .001mm of movement in an engine mount?   Again, honest question, I don't see these things make a lick of difference in handling.  Someone please fill me in, I don't get it.  It makes me put chips up my nose.

What I”m asking is : could he feel the difference between the stock & FCP mounts in regards to the handling of the chassis…you make my point exactly… you would have to be a very precise and sensitive test rider to feel the difference…. Hence… chalk it up to a learning experience for buying something you never needed in the first place….

Most of us don't "need" the stuff we buy for our bikes but tinkering and buying parts is fun and supports the aftermarket.

I heard their yzf mounts are nice for vibration, but this makes me think twice about trying them.

They cannot cost that much to make, and for how much they cost I would expect some better customer service but also maybe blur the email address out and post the convo? Just to maybe add some backing to this ya know!
