Default Is This Isolator OK, Or Broken?

This is the front isolator off my 2004 Dyna. Is it OK, or broken? I don’t really know how these are designed. Is the rubber supposed to be one piece, or separate pieces as this is? Thanks.

When you get the new one file off the hump and shim it.

Good advice. In fact I was checking the need to shim and/or remove the hump when I decided to just remove the isolator. I will be sure to set them right when I instal the new one.

Curious if there is there a better or more durable one, or is stock the best way to go?

There is a polyurethane one made for touring bikes, but I don't think there is anything yet for dynas except the stock one. If it's installed and shimmed right (may or may not need shimming) it should work fine for you.

This forum comes to my rescue again, thanks for all the help. I ordered both front and rear from Surdyke Harley, it's gonna feel like a new bike!
