Strange noise recently

looking at the front head pipe and noticing that it’s really no where near touching the frame (like so many other have indicated when their front mounts failed) I assumed mine wasn’t sagging. What I didn’t take into consideration is my exhaust doesn’t have heat shields. Long story short my front mount is destroyed. I ordered a new one and had it expedited, it should be here Friday. I hope this solves it.

It's hard to tell without the weight of the engine on it how much it sags, but at does look like the rubber is separating at the joints. I don't really see any wear on the top contact point though.

Over the past month or so i've been hearing this strange scraping metal on metal sound when going over speed bumps, potholes, pretty much any kind of transition. I went around and torque checked every bolt i could see and nothing seems loose. I'm pretty confident it still has the original motor mounts but to my eyes (at least the front one) isn't sagging at all. Could that be it? I've heard guys talk about excessive vibration and death wobble from bad mounts, but i'm not experiencing either of those. Any other ideas or things I need to look at?
