Default Engine Mounts

I have a 2000 softtail custom that has a big cam solid mounted. I would like to make it a rubber mounted. Can anyone tell me if they have done this and/or does someone make a kit for this. If I have to cut and fab mounts thats not a problem just looking for a little direction. Thanks guys.

May I ask why you want to go to all the trouble to do this?

Well long story short. Im tearing it down this winter and giving it a face lift. 250 rear new tins, paint, air suspension, big bore kit and thought maybe it would be nice not to need a 5 gal bucket of loc-tite.lol Maybe it wouldn't help much. it's really just a hot rod for me but would like to put more hours on the seat just makes my feet and hands fall asleep....

I'm thinkin' it's not possible without serious frame modifications. The TC88B engine has a balanced crank, the "A" engine on other models have a frame to accomodate the rubber mounts.
