rubber engine mounts

[HeadSmess]

its not so much the rubber as the location and lack of the mounts that makes rubber impractical.

properly spaced 4 point support and rubber bushes would work great



as it stands...nope. no rubber. nasty stuff.

i know this is a couple of years late, but i use some leather strips as padding for my motor. it does asorb some of the vibrations well, but theyre still there. not as bad as with the inner tubes or just metal on metal and they seem to hold up well. i have over 100 miles with the leather and it hasnt been burnt or ripped appart.

100 miles isn't very far. what you have to worry about is the engine studs breaking, not the leather being damaged.

How did that result to date and was your frame aluminium or steel?
