Default torque spec

2005 ultra
replaced the front motor mount , cant find in the manual the correct torque spec , I put it at 25 ft lbs , but getting some low end vibrations that was not there before ,, I know the 79b mount is now a 79d and it is a stiffer rubber material so mabe it will break in ,, just wondering if I have it tight enough.

thanks mike

Just removed my 79D mount after only 1 week, I hated the increased vibration, I replaced it with a Glide Pro , wow what a difference.
