VIBRATION DEVICES INSTALLATION OVERVIEW

The most important detail for maximum performance and longevity of your DUAL-COOL is how you or your installer imounts them on your bike. There are four installation options. They are listed in order of desirability, with option # 4 being the most desirable

​

1. STANDARD ENGINE MOUNT. Mount your DUAL-COOL to the engine via the Harley horn mounting bracket with the supplied thick vibration damper. 

​

Pros ..  Everything for a horn mount installation is included in our box. The average installation time is about 30 - 45 minutes.

​

Cons .. Your DUAL-COOL and horn assembly are mounted to your engine via the Harley horn mounting bracket. This will vibrate the most of the four available installation options. NOTE that because of the excessive vibration caused by the Harley design ALL 2008-2016 TOURING MODELS MUST BE PURCHASED WITH THE VIBRATION TAMER. 

 

2. VIBRATION MODERATOR (VM). The Vibration Moderator is the most desirable option if your bike will not accept our Vibration Tamer. The VM is an attractive and Heavy Duty method of mounting your DUAL-COOL to your engine via the Harley horn mounting bracket. It’s a real work horse. Two heavy duty vibration dampers encased in a highly polished Stainless Steel enclosure, replace the stock Harley vibration damper. The V-M is guaranteed against any type of failure for 3 years.

​

Pros .. A very secure and attractive mounting method that is superior to mounting your DUAL-COOL directly to the Harley horn mounting bracket. The VM positions your DUAL-COOL perfectly for maximum cooling effectiveness. Installation time is about 5 minutes. Will still look perfect years from now due to the Stainless Steel construction of the Vibration Moderator.

​

Cons..DUAL-COOLs are mounted directly to the engine. There is a significant reduction of vibration to the DUAL-COOL on most models, but it is not as effective on some bikes. Why is that? Many factors that are unique to each bike determine the vibration reduction effectiveness of the VM such as, wear on tie rods and motor mounts, work done to engines, the many different engine types, type of frames, idling RPM’s etc all effect engine vibration.

​

3. VIBRATION TAMER (VT). The VT re-locates the DUAL-COOL and Harley horn assembly from the engine, and mounts it to your frame where the vibration is significantly less. The installation of the VT along with the DUAL-COOL will take you about an hour to complete. This will undoubtedly be the best hour you will ever spend working on your Harley. The results will make you happy for years to come and your engine will be protected from all the bad and destructive consequences that happen from an overheated engine.

​

Pros.. Just about eliminates all the vibration transmitted to your DUAL-COOL. You, your bike, and your engine will run stronger and last longer. If your bike is a candidate for the VT, by all means add it to your DUAL-COOL purchase. This is the most important option you can invest in. Guaranteed against any type of failure for 3 years. 

​

Cons.. The V-T does not fit all Harley Models.
