Default Vibration

Hey guys,
I recently purchased a 2001 super glide with 27k miles on it. My issue is that there seems to be a lot of vibration when I am between 1/4 and 1/2 throttle. It stops when I pull in the clutch. So I am thinking I might have a bad motor mount? I have had a couple solid mount sportsters which didn't vibrate as much as this dyna, so I don't think think it is just part of the bike. I am just looking for a bit of advice so I am not chasing my tail. Is there a good write up on changing a mount?
Thanks

With this much age I would check both front and rear motor mounts.
Especially the front.
Front is easy enough. Just use a bottle jack to hold the engine in place while removing the mounts.

I am going to do that tonight. I saw several other posts regarding mounts. Pretty sure that's the problem. Thanks
