Billet Proof Designs Black ISO Front Engine Mount for Harley Touring 1980–2008 — Rubber, Direct-Fit Replacement for 16207-79B

This front motor mount fits rubber-mounted Harley Touring models (FLH | FLT) built 1980–2008 and Super Glide FXR models with rubber mounts from 1982–2000. It installs like the original equipment piece and is shaped to orient correctly when mounted—the tapered side faces up toward the engine—so you get predictable fitment and performance without modifying your bike.

How does this mount protect driveline geometry?

Worn or oil-damaged front mounts let the engine shift slightly under load, which misaligns the driveline and can stress connected parts such as the front exhaust head pipe. Replacing the rubber mount with a correct-fit OEM-style unit restores factory alignment so the driveline runs true.

• Direct replacement for OEM 16207-79B for accurate fit
• Rubber construction absorbs movement and preserves alignment
• Prevents excessive engine tilt that stresses exhaust and driveline

Why choose a rubber mount instead of a polyurethane alternative?

Rubber flexes more than polyurethane, which reduces the amount of vibration transmitted into the frame and to the rider. That makes rubber preferable for street-focused touring machines where ride comfort matters.

• Rubber delivers a softer, more compliant ride
• Less engine-to-frame vibration compared with rigid polyurethane
• Maintains comfort for long rides and highway cruising

What causes these mounts to fail and how often should I inspect them?

The front mount sits in a position where oil from routine changes or small leaks can run onto the rubber. Oil degrades rubber over time, causing cracking, flattening, or separation that compromises support. Inspect the mount during oil service intervals or if you notice increased vibration, unusual engine movement, or alignment-related noise.

• Oil exposure accelerates rubber deterioration
• Look for cracks, bulging, or oil-soaked rubber
• Replace promptly to avoid exhaust or driveline damage

How difficult is installation and what tools are needed?

Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic hand tools and takes about 30 minutes for most installs. If the original mount is severely degraded, a floor jack can help raise the motor slightly to line up the new mount for faster installation.

• Standard hand tools—ratchet, sockets, wrenches
• Optional floor jack to lift motor for tight fits
• Tapered side faces up toward the engine for correct orientation

Who is this for: This Billet Proof Designs front ISO motor mount is aimed at owners of compatible Harley Touring and FXR models who want a reliable, OEM-style rubber replacement. Choose it if you value a comfortable ride with reduced vibration, simple bolt-on installation, and restoration of proper driveline geometry. It’s ideal for riders maintaining an otherwise stock rubber-mounted engine setup who prefer the compliance of rubber over the increased harshness of polyurethane upgrades.
