Vibration in floorboards
#12
Uh...it's a HARLEY.
FloridaFLHX said something about a crankshaft bearing going out. Does that sound right?
It only has 16,000 miles on it.

I have a 1999 Road Glide that vibrated real bad at cruising rpms, so I was told to replace the front motor mount. But I was told to use red locktite & not to torque the center bolt to more than 10 ft lbs. Is that right. Vibration in the floor boards is gone but it vibrates a little more just off idle then smooths out is that right or should I torque the center motor mount bolt to mre than 10 ft lbs?

Check the exhaust and make sure it is bolted correctly, that is a very common reason for vibration. Also check the rubber exhault mounts under the bags, sometimes the metal brakets are touching metal to metal because they slip-ons were installed too for forward or back. While some here say it is common for a Harley, the only time I have ever felt vibration on the footboards is when something wasn't right.

I just purchased a glide pro front mount and they say 12 foot pounds for the center bolt. I installed it today and at idle it is a little better but I still get the same vibration in my highway pegs and floor boards.
It's a 2008 ultra and no the exhaust is not hiting or rubbing anywhere.
$108.00 for the mount, delevered, I don't beleive it was worth it.
