Does it realy make that much defference to put solid mounts on the motor, got the motor out of the bike that i am going to put in another bike and if I was to change the mounts, now would be the time to do it, the stock ruber mounts look to be in good shape.

Use the rubber mounts Bob.
The vibration with solid mounts will numb you right down to your tail bone.

I've never gone rigid mounts on a bike or car, but I have done solid rubber motor mounts versus grease filled rubber mounts. BIG difference in vibration. I imagine the solid mounts will be quite noticeable.Corey J. Bennett

The PO put aluminum motor mounts on my 1978 and IMO they do make a difference but still as smooth as the rubber motor mounts. I haven't noticed any difference in vibration.Last edited by mstic2000; 07-01-2010, 09:50 PM.Comment

If it turns over and you got compression, add fire and boom you got a motor, just like magic, right,Originally posted by XSokieSPECIAL View PostWorkin' on it........

Did you pour these, modify something existing, or machine them from round stock? Do you know what the durometer of these were?Originally posted by mxmikie View Post
While I don't think solid mounts would be a great idea, I can see urethane as an improvement...

the hardness was 70 i made a bunch of sets i sold some on the brit board i did a write up and posted it here but nobody here wanted them i make a lot of replacement motor mounts and suspension bushings for all kinds of cars that the parts are not available i turned down an existing bushing with a 3m scotch pad to fit and reused the insert i sold sets of 6 mounts for $65.00Last edited by mxmikie; 07-02-2010, 11:44 PM.careful what you wish for.........you might get itComment
