Can someone who is a Harley tech or knowledgeable with wrenching on Harleys look at this pic of my 2011 Sportster 1200 C and tell me what they think is going on with the right rear engine isolator mount?
This bike has 2400 miles and is still under warranty, But I don't want the service dept. tearing my bike apart to fix this if it isn't a issue.
The bike seems to ride good.
To me it looks like a factory assembly issue, but I need more opinions before I have my dealership tear into this.
Thanks

Can't tell much from the picture - but get it looked at a dealership. It doesnt look right, and there isnt much "tearing into the bike" to get to that pivot bolt.
