Default Motor Mount Loose

Today I heard rattling and noticed my front motor mount is loose on my 08 fat bob. It seems like the mount shifted or the motor shifted (dropped) somehow. Is it possible that that could have happened and the bike still run fine? (other than the slight vibration when going over bumps) or wouldn't the shift in the motor throw off the whole drive train causing more noticeable problems? Maybe there was no motor movement and the mount just came loose?
This is my first HD and the first time I have come across this problem, it seems like it wont be the last due to the hard riding I have to do everyday in NYC.
Any help would be appreciated, Thanks
