RE: Motor viberation..

Ron,

I have one of the new mounts sitting on the shelf in the workshop. It lasted about 50 miles before I put back in an earlier version. Fortunately the dealer had a couple of the older ones hidden away. I believe from the stiffer rubber and the shape those nice low frequency vibrations at idle are making it through. Mine shook like crazy at idle then buzz badly at cruise. They are in all the new rubber mount bikes and I don't hear too many complaints so maybe my tune is that far off!!!
