You can unbolt the motor mount and then use a floor jack to lift the engine enough to remove the mount. Removing the regulator and stabilizer link makes it easier to access.

I recently installed a Glide Pro front motor mount.

Did anyone else notice that it seems to be a softer rubber than stock?

Also note that you don't overtighten the center bolt. Torque wrench required!!!

Anyone?????????

Rear wheel alignment 08 touring fltr thanks

Hey guys just wanted to say thanks to the guys on one of the threads about bagger wobble...dont remember who ...doh.. I checked my back wheel with an 8ft aluminm straigt edge by jacking the bike up ( pit bull lift) and runnung it across the back wheel projecting it foward and discoverd that they where out 5/8 of an in... So i loosend the front motor mount and adj the top and bottom stabilizers (same amount of turns) and using a big screw driver to releave preasure on the bottom motor mount i lined it up.. Tightend the mounts and links. I used the manual for the basic concept and tourqe specs but the mo co way is to much bull crap and special tools that u dont need.. I little comon sence can go a long way.. Any way the bike cruses at 100mph like its in f---in rails compaird to the way it used too at 85 and whipin allover the place... Good luck charlie
