Bike Engine - Solid Mount...Why not Rubber Mount
I have put a bike engine in a Smart project, solid mounted. I wish to design a rubber engine mounted project so vibration is cut down and all parts
have less shock on them.
Why do so many if not everyone solid mount their bike engines to the car?

Mines on rubber, no need to mount on rubbers as bike engines are just so sweet and smooth, also hard mount adds rigidity to the frame as it becomes a
stressed member.

Most bike engines should be solid mounted, but if you want a bit of flex, use metalastic bushes.

Its more for the loss of vibration and noise, and smoother transmission, which I am aiming for

Mines on metalastic bushes. Pretty stiff ones so no movement but less vibration transmission.

I get a fair amount of vibration from being solid mounted, but I like it!
Flexible mounts add complexity, which is why I didn't bother. But no reason why you shouldn't do it.-

Is there any theory to back this up or is it just a post which tells us absolutley nothing?
