Default Motor Mounts

How do you know if motor mounts need replaced. My Dyna does a lot of shaking at idle and low speed but smooths out when speed increases. I have a service manual but I can't quit figure out what anchors the rear of the transmission. I can see the front mount but nothing in the rear. Thanks for any comments,
Jim

There is a rear one. Look under the bike right between where the swingarm pivots, you should be able to see the bolts for the mount. The front usually will be the first one that needs replacing. On my bike the vibrations start pounding through the bars so it's not hard to tell when to replace it.
