And you checked the riser bushings as well, correct?

Is your bike a 2000 with the original motor mount? If so I suspect it is bad.

Didn't check the riser bushings, but I will tomorrow.

My bike is a 2000, but I'm the second owner and don't have the service history of the bike. I agree, if they are original it's probably time for new ones, but they appear to be in good shape and I don't notice any excessive shaking of the motor itself. I can feel it more in the handlebars than anywhere else. I'll keep looking.

Just a follow up. It was the motor mount. The old one was cracked, I just couldn't see it without removing it. Rides great now and no more bump!

I just went with the HD mount. The old one had lasted quite a while.

What is the part number and price for a new motor mount?

I'm getting some vibrations lately and think it might be time for a new motor mount.
