noticed one of my mounts was looking a bit knackerd when changing the belt on rollers on my Piaggio Hexagon, thought it would be ok but no... handles like a dog, anyone changed a mount on a Leader engine? (GTS, X9, Hexagon, B125 etc) if so, what sort of job was it? cheers Paul

I did one on a dragster and it was a right pain I made 2 6 mm thick discs with a 12mm hole in each and a length of brand 2 nuts .I also chamfered the edge to help start it to feed into the hole .it says engine mount in that listing but it's more of a vibration damper

Yeah looks a bit of a sod of a job, worst bit will probably be undoing /loosing all the various pipes, cables and such gubbins :(
