Ask all the questions you have - that's why most of us are here...

Give your bike a good looking over - something came loose, your bike is probably too new to need motor mounts.


But FYI, Front Motor Mounts are big honking things on a 2012:

Those are some double D hooters..for sure. Did you find the rear and the upper? I never did and I went thru that whole fish. Is the stabilizer are there is for the upper?

The rear is the swing arm/tranny mount, behind the passenger peg mounts. The upper is just the link from the head to the frame.

Does only the left side of the rear mount, item 17 serve as a frame attachment? Seems like my friends 2004 Roadkings attaches to the frame on both side. However, his front mount was one simple bumper centered mounted with one bolt that had fallen out. Bike wasn't vibrating. Just the engine rocking at idle and cutoff.

Yes, that is the frame attachment. It's basically the same for all touring models.

No the right side is built into the frame. The new frames went from three to four mounts plus the link moved.
