Rubber mount or solid

    What's the consensus among sporty riders. Are those running '03 and back happy with their solid mount motors or would they rather have rubber mounted? Also were there any other real changes between putting 5 speed and belt on the sporty up to rubber mount.

    Cheers for the comments. Long time since I've ridden bikes known for vibes, having said that my roadking at idle would shake your teeth out. I guess I'll ride both and take it from there. I don't need the bike for long distance riding. Just a fun, short run and town hack.

    Thanks Walka. I was hoping to get an answer from someone who rides both. I would guess the balance factor for the crank should be different for 883s and 1200s. So by rights neither should vibrate more than the other. Which may mean a 1200 kitted 883 could be the worst.
