My '07 Dyna manual shows 21-27 ft. lbs for the bolts.

 

Thanks for the info, very well explained.

 

Is there anything wrong with leaving the vibration as is?

 

I don't mind the vibration either at idle or when riding, except that I can't see a DAMN THING in my mirrors. So if this will help with that I'm doing it.

 

i fixed it because after a while my fingers go a little numb

 

So the bike is on the ground and you just put the jack under the motor?

 

I just did it. I loosened the lower bolt almost 1/2" then started backing the top bolt out. As I was backing the top bolt out the mount started moving back away from the frame. When it stopped moving the top had a gap of about 1/4" and the bottom was still touching the frame (both bolts still in). I then placed a small floor jack under the bike and jacked the engine up and as I did the gap became even at about 3/8" on both top and bottom bolt. I went and purchased new bolts that were 1/4" longer, added loctite and installed them. Torqued them to 27ft lbs. I didn't have a chance to ride it but will first thing in the morning. Hope this helps.

Did you put any shims or washers in? If so, what size washers?

 

Did you shim it, or just put in longer bolts?

I'm wondering if shimming will get rid of the moan from my belt that I posted about?

 

i dont think just using longer bolts will help at all , if ya still got the gap you'll still get the vibration , ya got'a get rid of that gap between the mount and frame ,
