Default Road King motor moving and clanking sound with rear brakes being tapped !

I got a 2006 RoadKing FLHRI 10800 miles on it.I just did
the 10000 mile service on it and new tires.
Always been very easy on it too.I been noticing lately when
I hit the rear brake kinda hard (not locking it up
but tapping it a little harder then I normally do) its like
the whole motor is jerking clanking sounds coming from the middle of the frame.
I had it up off the ground put it in gear and I can see the whole motor shakes and makes a noise when I tap the rear peddle.Any thoughts or known issues
on that like maybe swing arm bearings or rear motor mounts?
the front mount looks good.I appreciate any feedback?

It sounds like a motor mount to me.

The bolts may be loose on the mount.

check your front mount first. Mine did the same thing. Mine had the center tore out.

Check the front first. You need to do more that just look at it. Try to move it up with a big screw driver/pry bar. Then check all you work again.
