Default Rubber or Rigid???

No, it's not what you are thinking!!!!

What are your opinions on the rubber mounted engines versus the rigid mounted ones. Any maintenanceissues for either that someone should be aware of?

I might be the least noligable on here but I have asked enough questions .

The rigid mounted ones (on the Softails) are counterbalanced and are smoother running particularly while idling . I have been doing a lot of reading and found no issues yet with either.

You probably already knew that but thats the best I got .LOL

I wondered about this as well. Anybody lucky enough to own both for a comparo and an opinion?
Also, is there a big difference between the rubber mount systemon the Dyna vs. Touring? Thanks.

The single biggest difference is felt when buzzing the motor.Rubber mounted you hardly feel it in the handlebars.Maintainance?they say change front mount every 10,000 miles or so.
