Does anyone have a video or pictures with instructions of how to replace a front motor mount on a FLHTC? Would be much appreciated.

 

Glide pro has some good video of this

I just replaced my front mount today and his video is what helped me out. Amazingly, there is pretty much nothing in the manual that I could find on changing the front mount.

 

what I've learned about changing the front mount is to NOT tighten the bolts firmly after replacing it. Ride the bike up and down the street, or around the block, and ride over a few small bumps. You want the new mount to settle into its own new "home" position after the engine and frame have both had the opportunity to flex a little bit. Then tighten it down properly.

 

We had another thread going about this-I and a few others found out that running the motor,then tightening the bolts was fine. BUT,after everything was tightened up,it took riding the bike for at least 20 minutes to a half hour to let the mount 'settle in' and only then was the vibration gone.

 

What were your symptoms that lead to replacing the mount? I seem to be feeling more engine vibration lately and am considering replacing it too.

 

Lots of info here...
