I think its a "SIL" one- considered very good and much better than any "remade" ones.

Not sure as to where the holes should face on each mount- someone who's fitted them may like to add their comments

I Put these Indian Mounts in to replace the Casa ones, the Casa lasted about 1500 miles which was 4 days riding going to Italy 2003. The replacement ones have been in since I got back from Italy. Four Euro Rallys later and well over 12000 miles and still in there, far better than anything else available IMO.

Were the Casa ones you had the type with no holes? I have a set of Casa ones (not fitted them yet) but they have no holes. I'm sure I read previously that they were very stiff. My plan was to just use one on the right if that was the case.

 No the ones I changed on that scoot were the Casa ones with Three holes. but I did used the Tino solid Reinforced ones with no holes, and the vibration was so bad I took the engine apart and checked the Crank bearings & the crankshaft to see if it had spun and Flywheel to see if it was out of balance, all was OK, so I changed the mounts on that one as well. It was unridable for anything more than very short trips, now its pretty smooth.

The holes in the mount aren't in the right position to achieve this - although I know this is what is in Sticky's book as the correct position.

I mounted mine in the same position as the ones in a number of brand new SIL motors I saw - can't remember exactly what they were but they weren't as above, in fact nowhere near :?
I don't know what's right or what's wrong and I can't tell you if mine vibrates like hell or not as the GP's not on the road ...yet :oops:
