Default Replacement engine bolts

Anyone replace the stock engine mount bolts with aftermarket such as Nichols? And if so how much of an improvement was felt? Compared to my 748 my 900sp can feel like a limp noodle when cranking her over in a bumpy or rolling corner oscillating sideways to a good degree.Some of it may be my suspension settings but I doubt all of it. I have Gold valves front and rear with race techs suggested settings.

I hear they make a BIG change to the older SS but on my 99 I only THINK they MAY have helped. The new SS has some improvements in that area to start with. If you use a reamer or a core drill to get the fit right I think it's better than just a drill bit.

I've heard they help a lot, but my 1997 SP wallowed a bit until I increased the rebound and compression so the suspension was almost as stiff as my MV Agusta (the SS has SBK, Goldvalve forks and Penske rear shock).
