Check out the video of my engine idling last year, you can see how much movement the engine has while operating. That's why I don't think solid and hard bushings are the way to go.

I tried using Moog suspension (I have the old paper catalogs with dimension specs. They were a gift from one of their tech guys. ) there is nothing that would work. The rubber is drastically too hard and there is none dimensionally correct. I spent many hours looking.
The closest was an upper 1991-95 C or K 3500 hd but it was too short and the ID would have to be opened from 14mm to 16mm and no offset and no window for front/rear vibration

CVC - have you seen this?

Some of those pics look very familiar.
Yeah I have checked pillow block mounts and even contacted two manufacturers but they want to sell 1000 or more pieces at a time for stationery equipment. Or only off the shelf parts. But with some homework the front mount for a Blast or tuber might be available.
New bushings tomorrow. I’ll be assembling an isolator tomorrow and trying it w by the weekend! ! ! !
Front isolators are still available from Twin motorcycles for the tubers. There are some aftermarket ones geared towards the BT that could work as well. The Blast uses a similar mount as I can tell.
