I have a 04 FLHTP it was wrecked when I bought it. It was hit in the front end. I have a new frame. and front end. I'm trying to do the alignment and where the alignment looks good the front of the motor is almost all the way to one side. Is this OK?

What exactly are you trying to align? The front of the motor should bolt directly to the motor mount which is center.

All I can say is to go to www.glide-pro.com ,Jake has a very informative video on how to align your motor and transmission with the rear swingarm. I did it and my bike tracks true. I've also installed his swing arm bushings and front motor mount and the difference in the way my 2000 RK tracks, rides is fantastic. All Harleys will vibrate, but his system makes a world of difference in handling and vibration.
