     * The top front bracket (16265-76) is an "L" shaped piece with 3 mounting holes. \\ It attaches to the front two rocker cover studs (3412) and to the frame neck by a bolt (3991) that screws in upwards. \\ If the front of the frame is stock, you should see the threaded hole by looking up with a flashlight. \\ It should be a 5/16"-18 x 7/8" hex head. \\  The upper front mount can be tedious to install. Easiest to install while installing the rocker cover while things are loose. ((Ironmick of the XLFORUM http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1567505&page=3))
-    * The center head straddle mount (16250-57) between the heads is black except for 79-E83 XLS which is chrome (16276-79). \\ It is not an actual motor mount but does keep structural integrity between the heads.

((sgr60 of the XLFORUM http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1567505&page=3)) \\ However, you do have to check as they sometimes need an extra washer to ensure that the weight/force of the engine is on the bracket.
