motor mount fix
while doing the "what to do" project,i found my motor mount was no good.The inner bushing was no longer attached to the rubber.I called the local hd and they wanted 78 dollars for a new one, and after reading threads the common consensus was the new ones aren't as good.Now what i did was weld two m-20 washers to the bushing. I only tacked every 1\8 inch so i didnt melt too much of the bushing and quenched after every other tack.The bike always had alot of vibration that would shake the fairing, so ill know if it worked or not.

I dont have washer too snug. Just touching rubber so it shouldnt change the flexibility. but now the bushing doesnt slide up and down

awesome
it worked. i actually have a significant decrease in vibes.it used to shake so bad at idle and thru 2000 rpm the windshield looked like it might break.i have had this bike for 2 years and it always shook.now you can watch the engine vibe a little but nothing transfers to the bars or fairing.what made me wonder was, i rode a friends heritage and wow real smooth.But doing the what to do thread i found that the motor mount was broke.save yourself a little money if you have access to a mig welder youll like it.i highly doubt itll ever break.
