Okay I have the bike on it's side stand. I have my jack, and a small block of wood. I've put the jack under the motor with the block of wood between the frame rails. I just jack the motor up a little bit to take some force of the motor off the motor mount.


The fisrt thing after I've taken some pressure off of the mount is to take a 7/16 socket and remove the two nuts holding the voltage regulator to the frame, one on each side of the regulator. I disconnect the wire connector plug from the back of the regulator and let the unit hang in front of the frame. I've also turned the front wheel all the way to the right to give myself more wrenching room.


The next step is to remove the bolt holding the tie-bar to the motor mount plate that is attached to the motor. This is a 9/16 bolt and it just threads into the mount plate. You can then push the tie-bar out of your way. Then, I just loosen the bolt going through the mounting plate and the motor mount itself. On my '06 Glide I used a 9/16 wrench and a 11/16 socket & ratchet. Just loosen it to the last threads at this point. I've also removed the nuts from the back of the bolts holding the motor mount to the frame. Use a 9/16 wrench on the top and a 11/16 socket to remove the nut.


Now I remove the nuts from the bolts holding the mounting plate to the motor. As soon as you have the second nut off, the plate pretty much falls off it's spot on the motor and mount as you see in the second picture. Then you just lift the old mount out of it spot in the frame.
