RE: Softail engine?
At idle it is as smooth as a used car salesman trying to dump a flood damaged car on a old retired school teacher[:'(] and going down the highway it is as smooth as a personal injury lawyer before a jury trying to make his yacht down payment.
Okay, at idle it is fairly smooth, but at highway speeds it is not quite as smooth as a rubber mounted dyna engine, but it isn’t bothersome. I wonder if anyone makes any rubber mounting kits for the Softail to be similar to the dyna mount???

It isn't rubber mounted. Avoid that dealer and for goodness sakes, don't let them work on your hog!
