. Throw a jack under it and pop it out to get a better look at it. You might be able to trim it some while it's on there, but you'll know for sure if you remove and inspect. If you want to try a trim on the bike to see if it gets better you could if you don't have the time to remove it and inspect.
To me it looks dry which is good it isn't oil soaked, it might be fine. Don't forget to check that rear mount you should have clearance between the trans and the mount and it should be straight not tilting.

Picked up the new mount at dealer. It does look quite different from original. It doesn't have near as much " nose" as the original. I practically has no rubber bumper nose that sticks up at all. I looked at some new dynas and they all have the rubber mount like my original and the rubber bumper was just a frog hair from touching the bracket. Made me scratch my head and wonder why they are so close together if they knowingly become a problem and then sell you one that doesn't have the bumper nose on it to fix it.
EDIT.....by the nose i mean the upper mount with the rounded end. The new one doesn't have near as much rubber on the top side as the old one.
