How does a rubber mount on a Harley Davidson work?
Rubber mounts isolate the motor from the frame. On a traditional old-style Harley rigid mount, every movement of the motor is transmitted directly into the frame, which creates a constant vibrating feeling for the rider. In newer bikes, this is combatted through the user of the internal counter-balancer.
