VF Engineering Pendulum Mount - Install & First Impression

TTinWV · 03-10-2006, 04:36 PM

I installed the VF Engineering pendulum engine mount about a month ago (short write-up on my web site), but hadn't had a good chance to see how it feels, until today. I know that some people have reported excessive vibration and so I was a bit anxious. No worries now though; it feels great! After about 100 miles of driving on Interstate highways and secondary roads, I can say that the chassis and engine are better integrated and the vibration, while noticeable, is entirely acceptable.

I think that I felt most of the vibration, and it really isn't much at all, through my feet (floor and pedals).
