Any Suggestions ?

While riding home last nite i experienced a vibration/sound coming though what it sounds like under the gas tank this only happens sometimes at slow speeds or/when i let off throttle , I'm coming on the 10,000 miles service and my friend who used to work at the dealer is going to do it much cheaper I'm yet to tell him about this sound , isn't there a motor mount under there ? i read about them going bad on this forum sometime ago , also maybe my fork oil or neck bearings ? i think it's the motor mount, but how can you tell ? I have to say after owning 2 Dyna's before my Street Bob i never felt this sound/vibration before...

Thanks for any info !

Glad to hear it was simple, cheap, and easy(?) to find. Thanks for following up; the tribal knowledge is an invaluable asset with this group and every contribution helps us all.

So basically you were riding around with some screws loose? Always keep a close check on your nuts.

Very easy front bolt and nut is visable , the seat has to come off for the other one , i'm glad it was just that and not a broken motor mount
