Any companies make a engine torque arm/motor mount set up for the 2009 M8's other than Lindermann?

I noticed the mag side of the motor shakes bad. The mag side motor mount looks in good shape. Wondering if a torque arm/extra motor mount would help.

Thanks

Check the mag side mount thats under the engine. Linderman and I think STM make mounts, but everything I have seen about the STM says the mount is too stiff.

Check for a m7 2005. I put one this year because my extra Linderman mount bracket is broken i don't know why.
It's under the oil tank, hole already there, easy fix.

How hard is this to install? Do I have to pull belly pan, or can it be installed from the top?

Thanks

Good to hear the M7 stopper is working. I ordered the parts (items 28-31) off the diagram in the above thread, should help keep the motor from moving forward.

Hope this cures my problem of only pulling around 7800 rpms. I have taken weight out of my adjustable CPC weights and peak RPM doesn't change. I noticed the other day that when giving some throttle the motor moves forward some. My thinking is the primary is going out of alignment when under load. and the stopper will keep the motor "true". Even with huge elevation changes it only pulls around 7800 weather its 1000 feet or 10000 feet.

Thanks
