Hey,

I've gotta 98' Wide Glide with original rubber mounts. It has about 71K miles on it. I don't remember how the bike felt new it's been so long. It doesn't clunk or bang or anything... is there a visual way to tell how bad they are? I may have just gootten used to more vibration over the years?

 

The best thing you can do would be to look where the elastomeric bearing is bonded to the metal. If there is separation, it's bad. If it's really bad, you'll be able to tell with a glance. If it's not too bad off, you have to really look sometimes.
