Front Motor Mount Replacement
#1

I just replaced the front motor mount on my 1990 FLHS with a Biker's Choice motor mount from J&P. It now has an obnoxious vibration. I didn't tighten any of the motor mount bolts until I had the front stabilizer tightened. I then tightened the remaining bolts. The vibration is worse at low RPMs and makes the bag lids rattle at idle. I'm ready to put the old mount back in.
Does the mount need to "run in" or is it a poor choice in mounts? I cant see where I have anything mis aligned as that is set by the front stabilizer. I installed the new mount tapered side up like the original that came out.
I'm sure this has been covered before and did search for a while, couldn't find anything helpful.
Thanks in advance.

Is there an "settle in" procedure like on my dyna after replacement? I know the manual for mine says leave the new mounts loose, run the engine for x amount of time at idle, then torque things down...etc. Worth checking if such procedure exists for your bike. It might help. Alignment procedure also??? YD
