Custom Cycle Engineering Engine Mount Brackets: Precision Alignment for Harley-Davidson
When it comes to keeping your Harley-Davidson's powertrain true and properly positioned in the frame, few solutions address the problem as directly as Custom Cycle Engineering (CCE) engine mount brackets. CCE has spent decades engineering chassis and suspension solutions specifically for V-twin riders, and their approach to the engine mount bracket category reflects that deep expertise — replacing vague OEM geometry with precision-machined hardware that actually lets you dial in alignment.
Why Stock Engine Mount Brackets Fall Short
Factory Harley-Davidson engine mount brackets are typically forged steel pieces with fixed geometry. While serviceable, they offer riders no meaningful way to correct chassis or powertrain misalignment — a common issue that can cause uneven tire wear, drivetrain vibration, and handling quirks. CCE identified this gap and built an entire product line around solving it.
The Engine Equator II and Adjustable Engine Mount Lines
CCE's flagship engine mount bracket offering is the Engine Equator II Motor Mount, designed for Harley-Davidson Touring models (2009–2016). This billet aluminum bracket replaces the forged front engine bracket and is equipped with slotted engine bolt holes and a series of precise hash marks, allowing the motor to move left or right within the frame to achieve perfect powertrain alignment — something that is simply impossible with the stock mount.
For Dyna platform riders, CCE offers its Adjustable Front Engine Bracket, covering models from 1991 through 2017. This black anodized aluminum bracket replaces the stock front engine bracket with a custom slotted design featuring alignment lines, letting the rider slide the engine left or right using the same alignment principles as FXR or early FLT models. It's a straightforward solution to a problem that has frustrated Dyna riders for years.
CCE also offers front and rear motor mount brackets for 1999–2005 and 1999–2017 Dyna FXD/FXDWG models in a clean black finish — providing both form and function for those who want a stock-looking replacement with improved engineering behind it.
Billet Aluminum Construction and Made in the USA
Every CCE engine mount bracket is machined from billet or heavy-duty aluminum, a significant upgrade over the forged steel OEM hardware. The precision construction ensures consistent fitment and long-term durability, while the anodized finishes protect against corrosion. All products are proudly made in the USA, a hallmark of CCE's commitment to quality that has defined the brand since its early days producing custom Harley components.
Complementing CCE's Broader Chassis Philosophy
CCE's engine mount brackets don't exist in isolation — they're part of a broader philosophy of chassis precision that runs through everything the brand builds. The same engineering attention found in their triple trees, fork tubes, and stabilizer link systems carries over into their motor mount lineup. For riders building or restoring a Harley who want every component in the drivetrain to sit exactly where it should, CCE engine mount brackets are a logical and trusted choice.
