You all are lucky to have apache snow be able to teach you nuts how to tighten nuts.

I got lucky with my Wife's 04 XLH 1200 Custom. Just had to tighten the front motor mounts. The 2 rear mounts were completely shot. Replaced the rear mounts with Drag Specialties mounts. Damn hard rubber! Vibrations gone and happy Wife. We all know, happy Wife, happy life.

If this is what your motor mounts look like you may want to replace them
