Harley Davidson FL Front Motor Mount Replacement
Replacing the front rubber motor mount on a 1997 Road King FLHR with a urethane motor mount from Drag Specialties, model DS-243515. It is said to also fit Harley Davidson 1982-1994, 1999 FXR, FXRS, FXRT; 1980-2008 FLT, FLHT, Made to replace OEM NO. 16207-79B. I also pushed the motor and transmission forward before tightening down the main bolt as shown at about 8 minutes into this video; • GlidePro Stabilizing System Install . It seems to form a 'triangle of stability' within the frame for the motor and transmission. This bike has just over 47,000 miles on it, and I have read that the service manual recommends replacing the front every 25K-35K miles. The urethane motor mount feels more solid than the rubber one. The engine still shakes the bike, but just not as extreme. It is more subdued or tamed now. Cruising at 50 mph and up it smooths right out on my bike. There are some spots in the rpm's that seem to vibrate more than others, but the urethane seems to be trying to hold it more still than before. I will update any findings in future riding as they become noticed. Feel free to comment with your concerns and ideas. Thanks for watching.
