Default Vibe caused by rear mount failure

I picked up a vibe from mid rpm up and went in search of the problem. Turns out the mount side plate rivets let go on one side and split the rubber on that side of the rear mount Put in new mount, vibe gone. Just a heads up in case you pick up this kind of vibration, mid range and up vibration.

I fixed mine with one of these. It has two mounts encased.

Did that broken rear mount make the bike handle like a squirrel, OP?

Actually, other than the vibe from mid rpms up, not really. Of course being 67, I don't beat on it too much anymore, unless some young whippersnapper tries to blow my doors off Lol. I just picked up an 03 egc dirt cheap and have been riding it because mama's back can't handle the smaller seat and sissy bar anymore on the wg, and I like mama with me. With new super shocks on the egc and the stock engine, it is smooth as glass, so when I got on the wg with 95", cams, heads, blah blah, I felt the vibe right away the other day when I got a hair to boogey solo.
