after tearing og style mounts
i went to urethane mounts,no more breakages(i have read that some people don't like them)
but its solved my problem, had em for about 6 years(i think they are bugpack)
i also use bugpack beam bushes(tube style for narrowed beam)
i would use rubber on the rear though have heard of urethane chopping out quick and known for squeaking

If you are tearing OG mounts, I would go to solid mounts or OG with a padded trans strap kit. The urethane are notorious for breaking with any power
put through them. A good OG mount is probably stronger!
Try and get a Wolfsburg West mount or OG german, not the Indian specials getting around today!

Jnr is running an 1835 on Webers which is pretty healthy and the mounts on his have hung in there!

I ran a 1967cc, hard, and its still going with good OG mounts... depends how you drive.
Urethane feels like solid anyway, and they fail with decent hp just as rubber will.
I would go rubber with a padded trans strap kit, or just go solid with berg style midmount bracket for serious hp...
