Hmm, maybe thats why its 4 down and 1 up.
Ahhh the powers of Photoshop.

And, I did have a urathane mount before, and it got trashed. My friend at the HD dealership said the new mounts (79D) are now better, so I got one of those, for $77. RIP off! I live near Rivera Primo, in Whittier, so I will go get that one on Monday. I hope thats all it is

They are better. The older rubber mounts were made of a softer rubber and would crap out a whole lot earlier than they should... the newer stiffer ones will not.

Sorry... but there is no way to 100% eliminate vibrations in an unbalanced single crank pin motor... it's archaic technology and we all just have to learn to enjoy it.

We have a Indy(Mia) in the Evo forum that always spoke of using the front mount off a Vrod on the Evo's that worked well

It is a balanced crank with rods pistons and pins. Point is it did not do this before the accident.

I flipped the image, then flipped all the wording, even on the bike. Fender badge, tank badge, floorboards saddlebag windshield bag and even the speedometer.
