that same link is located up under my tank between the heads. They moved it out front for the larger tank.

 

Before the 08 then, the upper mount was part of the frame stiffener. It attached to the backbone, under the tank. When this one let go on my wife's 01 EGC trike conversion, due to improper adherant, the isolaters twisted out of line. Leftside forward enough to allow the lower front, near the shifter, my first impression,to rip the lower engine mount and shift the alignment the power train and possibly caused damage the clevebloc. When the trike installer was thru telling us we "hot dogged" the trike too much, the bike that was my wife's training ride, we payed him his $1200 to fix what we don't think we broke. Long story short, we don't go there anymore. Too many missing bolts, improper sized bolts in the wrong place, and the use of a 'faster setting glue'. Did not even prime the backbone where ground off the paint. "Sometimes you get pre occupied". Actual quote to my wife.

A Champion Sidecar installer to be avoided. IM not so HO.

When the reinforcement plates that were required on 01 and earlier trike conversion failed, the upper HD welded link snapped off the Backbone, in a turn out onto Indian Head Hwy from the HD shop.

Did not mean to stray the thread, just infer just how much movement there can be in those isolaters. When it snapped, the top link bolt lug, you can just see the bright shear line behind the bolt, the tank swung left and right like crazy. That movement was in those isolaters.

 

I' ve never experienced this wobble yall are talking about. I ride an '07 SG, but being a mechanic I check everything out more than periodically. But when I do, I' ll know what product tolook into.

Later,
