Ah - the Isolastic engine mounts. There are two... Suprisingly the heavy duty factory rubber is in really good shape. I'm guessing before the environment was a thing - they made better rubber. Even the vinyl seat is in really good shape. It was the thinner rubber bits like carb boots, lines, etc.. that had hardened.
This winter I need to replace and upgrade the swinarm bushings. Not sure I need to address the engine dampers actually.
