Default Blown motor mount?

think i have a blown rear motor mount.

when riding down the road when i hit the slightest bump i feel a bang directly under my ***, upon deceleration i feel a vibration that feel like the back wheel is about to fall off, this only happens when decelerating, and around 20 mph, hold the front brake give a little throttle and let out clutch a little and the motor seem to be moving forward..

recommendation on which mount? i haven't had a chance to go beyond speculation as i haven't had time yet. i also thinking about replacing swing arm bushings while im there bike has almost 45k, and swing arm bushings aren't on the maintenance records

Are you going to tell us the model bike you have, or should we consult our psychic adviser?

Assuming you have an FXR or FLT rubber mount, the current spec front and rear mounts are fine. However we need more info so we can use our stethoscopes and do a proper diagnosis!

The swing arm it's shaft and bushings and the back of the trans are all connected together.

Look good at all that and inspect swingarm for any cracks of breaks

Don't think I'd be riding it until things are ck'd out'

Fully understand, kind of scared the crap out of me, limped it Home to be safe and it’s parked until I can fully inspect it.

You don't have lowering blocks on it, do you?

that im aware of no. Bought the bike last yr from original owner, 65 yr old retired school teacher. From what I could see it’s pretty stock. Has a cam, don’t know specs, a screaming eagle ignition.

I replaced the bars, new seat, and but newer air shocks in the back, as the 14lb rated ones where shot. Other then that it looks pretty stock.

Plan on eliminating the anti dive with progressive from, but that’s another topic
