RE: Motor mount problem
I haven't broken a motor mount, but I did have the upper mount bolts come loose and actually lost the rear mount bolt. Caused a real serious wobble at highway speed. I had 30,000 miles at the time and HD manual says to check every 10,000 miles.

RE: Motor mount problem
I just had the front motor mount replaced at the 5000 mile service. Service guy said it was a known problem on the '06 models and replaced it with a new or improved version. Needs to be watched though as you never can tell 'less you DIY.

RE: Motor mount problem
guys,
please excuse the stupid question, but I have had several comments made to me about my engine. I'm on an '05 RKC and the motor vibrates like a son of a gun compared to other 88 inch motors....is that a mount?
Comment made earlier in this thread makes me wonder what makes certain engines virbrate more than others. I have a stage 1 and Vance and Hines, however, it was the same vibration when brand new with stock set up.

RE: Motor mount problem
My front motor mount broke comming home on highway 66 somewhere between Williams, AZ and Las Vegas. I know of 6 other guys in my HOG chapter that have had their motor mounts broken and replaced. My motor mount was sandwitched by the time I got to Las Vegas. I could feel a lot of vibrations in the floor boards. Look at your front motor mount, If there isn't a gap between the rubber doughnut and the top metal plate, you have problems.
