2006 Dyna twin cam engine mount choices

I think it would be good to change out my engine mounts. I've had a clunk up front that I suspected was maybe the shocks, but couldn't reproduce it by compression, so now I'm pretty sure it is the front mount.
Sloppy oil changes and 54k miles are most likely the cause.

Should I go OEM or aftermarket?

The Vibra-technics looks good, but spendy.
J&P has both OEM mounts for the price of that front one.

Do you have excessive vibrations?

I'm going to change my front motor mount but I got a good deal on an OEM mount so I'm just going with that. It will probably outlast me.

You may as well stick some 95" cylinders on while it's apart.

I just trust the dealer things a bit more, have been stung with "oem" stuff in the past, had to buy dealer bits and unable to get refund on the other stuff once package is opened and found it to be of the wrong application.
