The mounts are untested at this stage, however the engine felt solid enough and didn't seem to wobble when I applied force by hand. Time will tell.
Cheers,
Matt.

The bike is finished and works brilliantly. The centrifical clutch, pull start and rear free wheel is awesome. Starts first pull, and it is so nice to coast almost silently without the drag of the chain.
Engine mounts work really well, a lot less vibration, and the engine doesn't wobble.
Cheers,
Matt.
