Is there something wrong?

[matt87951]

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but please see the pictures below, and let me know if there is something wrong. I believe the part I am wondering about is the motor mount, but not sure if it has a particular name. Should there be a gap like that, or should it tight together? Hopefully the pictures make more sense. It's not loose or anything, just something I saw while cleaning up the bike a little. Just wanted to make sure there is nothing to worry about.

no thats normal i would suggest getting the updated clutch cable bracket since that small piece of wire tends to snap where it mounts causing the rubber to melt on the header.

One of these posts pops up about once a month. That's normal. Its bad when u don't have a gap there

Where would I get that, is there a new part number for the updated part? I'll keep an eye out on it, to make sure is doesn't break loose.

Thanks everyone. I figured it was, since it's real solid and tight, but I wanted to make sure, because I'm newer to motorcycles.

Thanks again everyone for the feedback, makes me feel much better!

It was a recall when mine broke so i am not sure if Harley would even have any in stock. But american sportbike has them. http://www.americansportbike.com/shoponline/ccp0-prodshow/17311.html

Yeah,that is normal for our bikes,but you should order the better cable bracket,I got mine from ASB also,the piece of crap wireform will go south on you.
