Default Help with engine stabilizer

Hi all-
Newbie here. Just got myself a 2008 Street Glide. Can anyone tell me why my motor is resting right up against the bottom motor stabilizer bar?



Thanks guys!

It certainly shouldn't be doing that! The stabilizer is part of the rubber-mount isolation system, intended to stop engine vibes getting to us and the rest of the bike. I can't actually make out what is touching what, however favourite cause of front end problems is a failed front engine rubber mount, which allows the front of the engine to drop in the frame.
