Anyone Have the NEW Motor Mount??
I just installed a new motor mount on my 06' SG that I got from Drag Catalog. Mount is much stiffer than the stock one which went bad within 6K miles. However, I now have increased vibration that kicks in about 1200-1500 RPM's but seems to smooth out after 2000 RPM's or so. Very noticable when downshifting and slowing down, shakes the fairing some. I decided against the new H-D mount because I heard complaints from people about more vibration with the new mount. Anyone have the new mount from H-D without any added vibration?? Is there a mount out there that does what it's supposed to do without adding vibration??
P.S. Yes, I installed the mount correctly. I have installed mounts before with no problems, so it's not an install problem........

RE: Anyone Have the NEW Motor Mount??
I had a new HD updated mount installed on my Roadking @ about 5k miles--I noticed a considerable vibration differance just off idle & around 1500rpm or so--the windsheild shake is very noticable, but the cruise is smoother--I will be trying a differant mount in the near future. I even tried dropping the idle down to lesson the shake,(carbed model) Seemded to help but stil notice the vibration change. Just another opinion. Have a great day all.

For what it's worth, the last shop put a new mount on my 93 Electra Glide. Lot's and lots of vibration over the way it was before. Most of it occurs around 1500-2500 then quits. Mirrors/floorboards/seat/etc. Seems to be diminishing slightly as I put more miles on it.
