    Thanks for the inputs guys

    Contacted Mackey Motorcycles (TT Australian Agents) A$595 + A$18 shipping WTF????

    Emailed Sputhe Engineering last night and got an email back this morning $369 + $55 shipping

    Both have good reviews, but I'm leaning more towards the Sputhe, simply based on looks lol

    No issues so far. It is a HD unit mounted as per design. There would be plenty around so maybe others may have more info??? 

    I was happy how neatly it all fitted together....just had to file a little out of one corner oil the oil cooler bracket to clear the Sputhe link bolt though.

    Yes I've seen them on the US forum. There's always going to be options on which way to go whatever you might be looking at doing.
    The main reason for me fitting the stabilizer was to try and get rid of the mid corner wobble from the rear end.
    I don't see the front mount alone helping that much, it might to some extent but I think the back stabilizer is necessary.
    All depends what you're after !

    Sputhe Positrac Dyna Stabilisers are a must for Dyna's. Their not cheap but are essential to get rid of the mid corner wobble.

    Installed on my 2012 Wideglide and am more than impressed.

    It's probably the same bloke who's trying to sell them on another thread started today. Too much of a coincidence otherwise as this post is a first time post too

    Just purchased front and rear sputhe positrac stabilisers today. 
    Decided on sputhe as opposed to true track because of ability to mount an oil cooler and they will fit-in better and not stand out in terms of appearance. Cost about the same as a true track. 

    Nearly bought the predator front engine mount which has a stabiliser built in so as not to need the sputhe front mount but happy to keep my oem engine mount which will be easier and cheaper to replace as opposed to the predator when rubber inevitably deteriorates. 

    Sputhe now takes orders via email and payments via PayPal. Service thus far has been very prompt.

    I bought a used Predator front mount, and recently fitted it.

    I have had no luck with stock front rubber mounts lasting, and the predator replacement rubber donut should be a lot cheaper than the
    factory mount when/if it needs to be changed . I will have to check into that.

    Initial testing shows the predator mount has removed a lot of the low rev vibration compared to stock, but has introduced
    a new vibration up higher in the rev range. Sort of oposite to stock !!
    I already had true track front/rear so no difference in handling.

    Yeah I've heard good things about the predator mount. It was a tough decision as to whether I got that for the front or not but I've ordered the sputhe and will be done with it. If I have oem front mount problems I'll reassess. 
    Speedzter, I noticed that predator recommends NOT running another front stabiliser. I wonder if it's possible that running two stabilisers up front could inadvertently cause some additional vibration.

    Ahh I see. From your experience it sounds like ideally I should.have gone with my original plan of only using rear sputhe which can be ordered on its own, and using predator on front.
