I worked on a 1200 for my buddy about 5-6 years ago, his mounts were beyond shot. I wound up putting a whole new drive shaft and clutch in that machine and I went at the time and bought a set of solid mounts figuring that the steel wont rot away like the rubber did.... it shook and shimmied so bad I could not stand it. so I took them right back out and went and bought a pair of front sway bar links for a car at the local parts store and used the rubbers from those.. They are a harder rubber than original and do shake a little at certain throttle settings but nowhere near as bad as when I had those steel ones in there.....i got the "better grade" urethane ones rather than the cheapie "OE grade" ones.
