how do I get that kit. Should I order a oil resevoir while I am at it? Sounds like you can't get at without breaking the oil can?

if your real good you can get the oil reservoir out and reuse it, I would just delete it.
Here is a link. It just says "M-1000 Front Motor Mount", so now I am not sure if it includes the push arm or not. Might want to call or PM product tester before ordering.

Can we get away with just installing the stop or do we have to install both the stop and the mount??

If you have dug in deep enough to install the stop on the mag side, this would include pulling the PITA oil bottle, throttle bodies, etc. They you might just as well install the motor stop. I guarantee you it won't hurt.

I'm going to call twisted tomorrow. It sounds like they're confident they have a kit to end the belt blower M1000 issues....

What you are going to hear from them is this is the first step. Motor mounts and such. After that you need to make some clutching changes.

Has anyone used the Twisted kit?

I just installed the Twisted motor mount kit and it has the nut right behind the rubber stop. This kit was a jober to install but it looks like it will work really well. When I ran it on a stand the motor moved very little. I have yet to put some miles on to see if the belt issues are resolved. The only hurdle I ran into was reconnecting the cooling lines on the bottom of the throttle bodies. Does anyone know an easy way to reconnect the lines..maybe going in from the belly pan underneath? Does anyone know if this kit will affect the clutching, and what changes may have to be made??

Just picked up my sled from Linderman yesterday and he he installed a prototype mount on the mag side for me, very clean and simple and the quality you would expect from Brent. And it would be a breeze to install, not like the nightmare the other one sounds like. Question is, how much do these extra mounts increase the vibration of this already ridiculous monster? And what effects will the vibration have on other components on the sled?
I put my Richter Magnitude Scale to it yesterday an it went from a 7.4 (pre motor mount) to a 5.2 magnitude (post). Actually I did notice less vibration when idling and running on a stand... I guess the true test will come here shortly.
Has anyone heard anymore about Linderman's kit? Does anyone have a number for him?

do these mounts have to be done to a 09 m1000 also or did they change that between 07,08 to the 09..... thanks
yes, i put the kit on my 2009 M1000...
Yes, a torque stop is a good idea on an '09-'10. Depending on who you ask, adding another front motor mount is also a good idea. Your '09 does have a better (solid) mount on the PTO side plate than the '07-'08s have.
