my 96 dyna conv has 35,000 miles and has started to shake alot at idle, and even a high speed. could the front motor mount be damaged or worn out and letting this happen. i suspect this to be the problem because it seems to be loose there at idle. all of the bolts that mount it to the frame and to the motor are tight, so that aint it. any thoughts on this, or any other cause would be great. thanks

Look at this thread . Some dude mentions that he replaced a mount and it improved things.
I replaced my front motor mount at around 20k when it was 4 years old. My engine flopped around enough within the frame to bend the heat shield on the aftermarket front pipe. I noticed no change in vibration with the new mount. IMHO a waste of $110.
Have you tryed adjusting the engine stablizer (top engine mount located between the cylinders)?

He had been out riding, brings it home and parks it in his garage. A few days later he gets on it, starts it and immediately it starts knocking. We...- 7

HD B Lifters
Twin-Cam EngineSwapping the cam plate & bearings in my 06 RK, figured I'd throw some new lifters and adjustable rods while I was in there. Bought an open box of 18538-99B lifters from an old timer for $30 - can't resist a deal. There are no part numbers on the lifters themselves, so I'm wondering if anyone...- 4

Lowering compression with gasket thicknesses
Twin-Cam EngineConverting my 88 to a 95 and the pistons I have are specific to my heads, so I'm not getting different ones, but they're rated at 10.5:1 compression which is a little more aggressive than I'd like for this particular bike. My question is how much gasket thickness should I use to get that...- 23
