My 17 doesn't have any that I've seen. Looks like it's solid mounted.

No sweat. There is one mount that also holds the horn, the lower front bolts near the foot peg mounts, the trans-to-engine bolts and the swngarm.

I’ve ridden 2 18 softails both 114’s. The Fatboy I rode had way more vibration at 3000rpms than the Heritage. It could be just that the bike needed to have the mounting system rechecked or there is something else going on. That Fatboy is still in the dealership last time I looked.
