checking motormount

Hey guys I was wandering if I put a car crank jack under my engine and lift a bit and the front motor mount seperates or lifts away from its normal seated position would this indicate it is worn? Bolts are all secure.

Yep sounds like it needs new. Pretty easy and makes a big diff.

We've been using the Beull front motor mount, '98 I believe, same height-better material.

I have a true track and that mount on my bagger. I will put one on the FXR when I get around to building it.

Put the order in to true track, I sure hope the cost of it proves itself.I don't run much more than 15 - 20 kph over the speed limit here other than passing and the speed limit is generally 90 - 100 kph, will I notice a big differnce cruising at these speeds?
