Yep. All of the trans to frame braces cause vibration. Some a little some a lot.

You can also get extra vibration from loose exhausts, loose shock mounts, and loose motor mounts or a combination of all three. Lots of internal engine issues can cause vibration but I would rule out the more obvious places as noted.

Sta-bo has a good motor mount at a decent price.

My front tire starts to make a little noise and some vibration at about your mileage 18K.

Yeah, the two front mounts. Just got the stock mount, I couldn't find any other choices, Velva Ride doesn't have anything for the later year models yet from what I could tell.

Motor mount?

Don't you fell a vibration in a motor mount when decelerating?

I haven't done it yet, but it doesn't look like a big deal to do the front. The floorboards, kickstand, and rectifier probably need to come off. It is going to be a little difficult not having a lift table but looks doable. Need some way to hold the motor up with the mounts off, a bottle jack with a wood block will probably do. I have done most all of my mechanical stuff all my life so I am not worried about tackling it. Just need to find the time. The new mounts from Harley are $40 a piece and I got both, it usually ideal that you replace both of anything that come in pairs.
