Rubber engine mounts - Norge
« on: November 24, 2025, 09:15:21 AM »
Has anyone ever added a thick rubber washer between the main bolts on either side of the engine that mount the engine to the frame?  Would it make any difference to the minimal vibrations, (no mirrors shaking at all) just curious if it would change the ride quality at all?

Never considered it, but then I don't have a problem with the vibration on my Norge.

Adding rubber washers in the motor mount system would have the equivalent effect of loosening the bolts.

And leaving them loose.

How much vibration and where, handlebars, foot pegs? My 2011 had very slight vibration and not at all annoying. Moto tune issues possibly?

No material vibration issues, just a tiny bit would be nice to eliminate when riding at a brisk pace (85 mph+) = bike is nicely tuned, running greatly, all TB's balanced and running perfectly.  The problem is I cycle thru the 8V Griso which is smoother then 4V Norge, then I ride the Goldwing and I go back to the Scura and then the Norge and I think to myself...perhaps I could make it a bit smoother.

I know it's a mental illusion, but hey...if I can make it a tad bit smoother that would be nice.  There's no vibration coming thru footpegs or handlebars or mirrors, just the general V-twin natural vibe...
