I keep breaking the front mounts (2times) and I'm new to this. So I bought this $50(aluminum mount from "custom motored bicycles.com") it was hard mounted, after every thing I read in the forum. Plus it was $50 (so it's got to be good, write) But seriously I have Eli coiled the front mount the last time because I had it rubber mounted the first 2 times, and learned it's better to hard mount it Because they said it's worse to rubber mount it.(because when its rubber mounted, the torque goes to the bolts, & 2 the mounts) So I am mounting it hard mounted with that aluminum mount I bought....Please let me know if this is better??????#$!%!^TG$#^@$*
