INTRODUCTION
S&S

billet front motor mounts for 1996-'02 v-twin Buell

motorcycles are machined from 6061-T6 billet aluminum and
offer a considerable increase in strength over stock. They are
available in three versions. The first version is intended to be a
heavy duty replacement motor mount for motorcycles with stock
height engines. S&S PN 93-4059. The second version is designed
to allow the S&S 100" engine to be installed in a stock Buell
chassis. S&S PN 93-4060. See Picture 1.

A special order front motor mount is also available. The special
order front motor mount allows builders to install custom
engines which are between .200" shorter and .430" taller than
stock. Keep in mind that when installing some non-stock height
engines in a stock Buell chassis, exhaust and frame clearance may
be a problem.

A slotted steel top motor mount, S&S PN 93-4062 is also required
for taller than stock engines.

NOTE: Installing an engine of other than stock height in a stock
chassis can result in interference between frame and exhaust. It
is the installer's responsibility to make sure there is adequate
clearance in all areas.

Securing the motorcycle

Motorcycle must be adequately secured against falling over
during the motor mount installation procedure. Use of tie
down straps on both sides of the motorcycle is recommended.

Do not reuse mounting bolts and washers indicated when
installing the S&S motor mount. Special high-strength bolts
and washers are used to secure the motor mount to the
engine and frame. Use only new bolts and washers as
specified. See Figure 1. This hardware is not available from
S&S, and must be purchased separately.

1. Place motorcycle on a suitable repair stand so that it is

stable and secure. The motor mount supports the
weight of the engine, so the engine must be supported
from underneath during the motor mount change. Use
a jack that is strong enough to bear the weight of the
engine and stable enough to hold the engine steady
during the procedure.

2. Disconnect negative battery cable.

B. Remove existing front motor mount

1. Remove seat and fuel tank per appropriate OEM service

manual.

2. After securing the motorcycle, place a suitable jack and

support under the engine. Apply pressure with jack just
enough to offset the weight of the engine so that there
will be no vertical load on the motor mount bolts.

3. Remove bolt, washers, and nut securing rubber isolator

to motor mount. Note washer locations.

Remove both upper and lower front tie bars from motor
mount (1999-’02 models only).
