Front Motor Mount?
I did a search and came up with a ton of really old posts. What is everyone using to replace their bad HD Front motor mount? I am assuming the front OEM ones are still junk.

If so, the replacement part from HD is made with better materials than the original, but there are aftermarket choices as well.

I just replaced mine with the cheap Drag Specialities unit. I do feel a slight "buzz" at highway speeds but it is barely noticeable and seem to remember it doing that with the old one. I changed it this spring before I rode it. Next time I might try the Glide-Pro, but I was on a budget and it got the job done.

Not trying to be a jerk but I would be worrying about your motor issues. It all works together but motor mounts should be a happy home for a happy motor? Sorry but don't know what else to say after reading your other thread other than prioritize. Best of luck as sounds like you have been shafted pretty good so far.

Did the mount change in 2007, or do you mean 2008, when frame changed?
