I need a spent front isolator mount, preferably from a Uly, to look into the remanufacturing process as these may become hard to get. I will pay you for it. PM me please. (Message edited by ronmold on October 02, 2010) | ||

It's the rubber that fails, so if you could make a repair kit I could see that selling decently. Sorry I don't have one. | ||

Ron, Here's a Front Mount Saver from the UK. http://palmerproducts.co.uk/ The design of the Front Engine Mount is far from ideal because the rubber isolator material is working under sheer loadings and not compression like it should. This means that the rubber will tend to crack/tear across the rubber webs (can be seen on close-up inspection) and this will eventually severely degrade the mounts performance. A healthy mount should have approximately 8-10mm clearance between the centre bolt flange and the outer body of the rubber. A common symptom is that the bike feels like it's riding over corrugated iron under braking - the main body of the Mount makes contact with the central mounting bolt attached to the frame, causing all the engine load and vibration to be directly transmitted to the chassis. Made from a special durable Polyurethane flexible compound, this simple, doughnut-shaped device limits the mounts overall movement preventing the higher shear loads from occurring and can also prolong the life of a worn mount. The Mount Saver does not affect the mounts isolating performance. Fitted in seconds without tools. £6 |
