Hey all
I've been looking /searching for....
Anyone know of a web sight or private source that sells/makes heavy duty motor mounts for the GS1000E

Do heavy duty mounts even exist? I think stock are good for about any amount of power. There steel, no rubber or anything. If anything, you can probably make some thicker ones out of 1/4 plate, but I dont see the need. I see some people make aluminum ones, maybe for less weight?

http://www.dgchassis.net/Dragbike%20...tor-mount.aspx they will work on your 1000. not needed unless you are making serious power. i have built a few 1640cc 1100's in stock raked and leghtend chassis with stock mounts.

I think you find those brackets are for there own frames. Have a look at the lower engine mounts. Why would there be four 8 mm bolts when only 2 are required. And the rear engine mount not compatable with Suzuki frame and looks like the bolts are thread in to the cases!

Have a look in here, grab a towel, you will get exited...........http://translate.google.com.au/trans...%3Den%26sa%3DG

there are four 8 mm bolts. because on the bottom mounts there are 2 on each side. that would require four 8 mm bolts.

The D&G mounts are for stock chassis. The lower mounts work the same as stock with 2 8mm bolts holding the mount to the frame on each side and a 1/2"-13 bolt to go into the case. The rear upper mount only uses one of the frame holes on each side with a 8mm bolt. Then the 1/2-13 bolts go into the cases. The rear lower uses the stock welded on mounts in the frame with 1/2"-13 bolts into the cases. All case mounts get tapped to 1/2"-13 and the lower rear mount holes must be opened to 1/2".

When I did the Kawi mounts back in the day the threads needed to be tapped to standard not metric.

On my GS1000 there is a welded bracket on one side (near white rag) and what you decribe on the other.
