i hate the way the stock motor mount on the rocker looks, it's unpolished and takes away from the look of the chromed engine.

here is a pic of my stock mount.

Default EVO Top Mount

Is this the part you want to replace (red arrow)? If it is then I believe the top motor mount from Vulcan Engineering will not work as the coil mount would go up towards the tank, not down as it is supposed to (see exploded image of the ignition coil mount below). Hope I thinking of the right part you would like to replace? If it is it might be easier to remove the piece and have it chromed. It may also be cheaper.


PS: Where did you get your shift linkage and what is the part number?

you hit the nail right on the head. I didn't think of having it chromed instead of replacing it, will look into it now. thank you bro.

as for the shift linkage, i got it from a web site called wicked image, it's their tribal shift linkage bar. i also got my mirrors from them also to go along with the linkage bar.

Powder coat it black for some more contrast...Just my 2 cents.
