Mine dissintergrated on the way back from a rally some years back in Italy ....If you wet your finger and touched the engine mounts it hissed like a hot iron.....I'm not kidding when we stopped to fuel up, vapour came out of the petrol tank... the scooter really was that hot.... This was on a TS1 being ridden fairly quickly, Keeping up with a 172 kitted Runner for about 300+ miles a day....

The bushes look like polyurethane,are they?

[red ghost]

Yes Red, they are.. with a hardness of 60 they should work quite well..I hope...Just need the motivation to pull the engine out to change mounts..again

did snowy get an answer ?

I wonder if a press on heat sink, over the engine mount would dissapate the heat build up better than nothing..... not fancy or expensive, just a press on piece of alloy machined with fins on the outside...??

No, they are from Red Ghost Studios

If they test well, then I'm thinking of doing a small production run.
