It’s no concern, it won’t cause you any issues. The rubber across the top of that part is basically just a cover. Underneath the rubber layer is where you would see the internal pieces of the motor mount. The mount is not a solid piece. It’s designed in such a way that it absorbs engine vibrations to make for a smoother ride as you drive the vehicle. In some vehicles, the engine mounts are obvious in plain sight. Others, not so much.

Thank you.

Interesting. My cycle has similar mounts but they are small & you definitely cannot see them as they are under the engine or on the lower side! This was so big and at the top of the engine bay it looked peculiar.
