Hi Team,
Seen a lot of breakages on social media and the riders are trying to understand why things like tyre wear, belts snapping, exhaust cracking and lots more are happening?
You have to understand how much a misaligned engine puts stress on the rest of the bike not only vibration but misaligned engine leaning forward out side any normal service angel.
Have a look at the engine and transmission and see in layman’s terms what tension and load you can identify on a system when the engine drops forward.
Just remember you must change both mounts at the same time, as they are both loaded up and if one fails it doesn’t take long for the other one to follow!
If you have any questions regards the rubber mounted engine compared to the solid mounted Softail contact me.
The engines are not the same.
Don’t connect the engine directly to the frame or use polypropylene mounts.
Cheers Leeroy
