New Bagger Motor Mount
An updated motor mount has replaced the older style that have colapsed after very few miles when used as a replacement part for defective mounts..

Reports are that the new and improved mount for baggers is not holding up as thought...

I am confused because the picture that your're using for reference is of the original '06 mm p/n 16207-79B.
They replaced my mm on the 1k service 'cause they said it was torn. The original mm looked like 79B, the new one looks like 79C.
Can you clarify please?

The 79B, the mount that has been coming on the baggers is the malfunctioning mount. The 79C is the replacement, that may or may not be on the production line at this time. My bike is in the shop getting major mods done on it. My front mount is disintigrated after only 2300 miles. They have been finding many. I was told the company making them had a really huge bad batch. They will have to keep changing them as they appear. They seem to have no way to track the bad ones. That's what I was told last week.

Anyone tried to get the dealer to replace the mount before it fails, as a matter of preventive maintenence? Or do you have to wait until the mount is shot to get it replaced?

The warranty says it retrofits all touring models back to '80 and that all '06 models should have the new one. Does this mean my '96 RK should be replaced with the newer one? I figure if it was going to fail it would have by now.

My dealer change the original mount (79B) before it failed 'cause I was complaining so much about vibration in the floorboards.
Guess what? After about a week I had them reinstall the original 'cause I felt the 79C was harder rubber therefore making the vibration more pronounced. Of course after I got the bike Dynoed with a SERT, most of the vibration is gone but the new compound is definitly harder. If you are sensitive toward vibration you will tell the difference.
