Is anyone making replacement rubber engine mounts for H1's?

Or is there another engine mount from a different model/make that will fit??

Thanks Dave

You can find them here -- http://www.hard-to-find-parts.de/pd1271 ... egoryId=15

Excellent, those are the parts. Anyone puchased from these folks before?

I believe that Cody bought rubber mounts from this supplier and posted that he was very happy with them. He may have bought just the rubber part, rather than the whole mounts. It may be worth a PM or email to him to get the details. You probably know, but he's "scrambler73".

I just bought a complete set from Volker two weeks ago. He is an honest stand up guy and the parts are sweet.

And I received my set today.
Looks good, but there is a difference between these and the originals.

The Kawasaki originals are made by placing the steel part into the injection molding die and then injection the rubber around the steel part. The result is that the rubber is bonded to the metal.

On Volker's repro mounts the rubber part is made separately and slid onto the steel part afterwards. He also sell the rubbers separatly.

Hopefully the difference dosen't matter much.

Stock H1 dampers = 26mm
GT750 (silentblocks) = 25mm

Using Suzuki dampers on a H1 causes a loose fit which may again cause wear.
This is why I'm ditching the GT750 units in favor of the repro parts from Volker.

If you recess the spacertubes, you will shave 430 grams of the engineweight.
Best to use high tensile material for the spacertubes to prevent deformation of tube ends over time.

The Suz rubbers are not only smaller OD but shorter also. The arre OK for use in H2 with holes drilled to 25 mm, not for factory drilled H1 cases.
The rubbers from Volker I fitted with RTV glue to the spacertube. After curing they are impossible to remove.
The Volker rubbers are oil resistant, the stock ones are not. Which is why the one just below the front sprocket deteriorates with anyone who maintains the chain like it should be done.
