Rear Motor Mount on 2009 Street Glide
I am trying to find the cause of a vibration I'm having on my 2009 Street Glide. I can feel it most through my feet on the floorboards...especially when I place my left heel against the shifter shaft.
I want to make sure the motor mounts are tight. I've been able to visually locate and check the two front mounts and of course the shaft connecting the front cylinder head to the frame.
But I can't not figure out where the rear mount is located. Can someone guide me through what I need to remove to be able to access both ends of the mounting bolt. I want to check it for tightness.
Thanks,
Jim

The rod that bolts 1 and 2 go through, that is the adjuster for alignment right? I looked at mine and there is no adjuster nut on it, the thing is solid, how do you adjust the alignment?
Sorry HardyHarHarley, back to you.

I don't want to highjack this thread, but I have a quick question.

HardyHarHarley, you really should get your own copy of the factory service manual! It is just great for those sleepless nights - and answering these sorts of question! (I have an earlier bike so can't give you a better reply)

That page shows the rear frame, not the rear engine mounts. They are down with the swingarm pivot, behind the rear passenger footboard/peg mounts.

That is why I posted the question on the forum to begin with....thank you very much.
Your description of the location is exactly where I have been looking. But all I see is the swing -arm pivot and where the passenger footrests attach. I do not see where the rear of the engine fastens to the frame.
I'll take it to the dealer and ask them.
Thanks,
Jim

I have the service maintenance manual. I've searched it cover to cover to find a picture showing exactly where the rear of the engine attaches to the frame. And unless I have missed something, I don't find a picture nor a description in the manual.
