Do know that if you leave the top motor mount off the bike will wander and handle like crap............I would use all the mounts you can......a chopper handles bad enough as it is..............

^^^ this coming from someone who probably hasn't ever ridden a chopper before. OR had ridden a badly built one. Mine handles perfectly.

as for the motor mounts the only one I would not run is the top. All others I would run.
