You sir are absolutely correct. I have a '92 FXLR and a '95 FLHR. Way smoother than the twin cams I rode. I am beginning to think that not many people know or have had much experience with Evo's here.

But then again they came out in '84. I would venture to guess that most people on this forum were shi..... in their diaper back then, if they were even born. Lol... My first bike was a '71 FX that I purchased new from the dealer for 2300.00. Check it out.

I am not impressed at all with the bikes I rode.

 

"front rubber mount was rubbing on the metal frame of the motor mount. You could actually see it removing rubber from the mount. Took it to the dealer"

Can you please explain or perhaps a pic might help. I can't picture what you are saying. Thanks

 

hey scorpio, no problem. pictures will tell the story better than i can explain it.
you can see in the pic that the rubber it touching the top of the mount. also you can see a small piece of rubber that has been rubbed off because of this. since the dealer shaved it down a bit to give it the clearance it needed, it made a big difference in vibrations.

 

Thanks I will look at mine.

 

Glad to help.

 

pictures please! you shimmed only the REAR motor-mount?

 

I believe he means the front mount. I did this when i was about 500 miles and it did make a difference. At 1000 miles i took it out since it was going to the dealer for the 1k service and i didnt want to hear anything about not being under warranty since i made a change. When i got the bike back i didnt put it back in. Soon after i noticed my front mount collaped a bit and was rubbing the rubber away. The dealer shaved it down so it has the proper clearance. Here is a pic of when i shimmed it with some washers. I to had about 1/4" gap.

 

pontiac, thats a sweet looking camero

 

I cant believe you just said "camaro". My id is pontiac 69, thus its a 1969 Pontiac Firebird. Thanks for saying.

 

You can't blame a Chevy guy. They just don't get out much.
Here's my Chevelle.
