With 56k miles on the clock I have developed a helluva shake in the fairing/ bars. I believe most likely motor mount related, and had replaced the handlebar poly bushings 10k ago while in there doing other work. Couple questions:
1) Glide-Pro, stock or other when replacing?
2) Is there a front mount only?
3) Should I be looking at any other cause for a pronounced shake in the front end?
I did do a search but with search words motor, mount, & Glide I came up with a lot of unrelated hits.
Thanks for all of the suggestions guys. I reviewed fairing brackets last Fall but plan to again tonight. Will also look along frame, exhaust, etc for anything out of the ordinary. The more I look into this it seems less likely with the 09+ mounts vs older style. Front wheel bearings are not original but still probably have 30k+ mi on them. Plan to replace when new front tire is needed.
