Anyone know what options a guy has for motor mounts to keep that 1000 in place?

Twisted turbos they sell a mount kit . Look back in old posts many ideas. I have done them all still rip them out !
Have you tried the twisted mounts?They don't have a pic on their site and it only said "front mount",so I wasn't sure how it worked.

No, to my understanding the Twisted kit requires an oil tank delete. Here is a picture of how I did my motor mounts, same as the little orange cat (not my sled).
Thanks for the picture.That helps me alot
The Twisted kit does not require an oil tank delete kit. Essentially all it is is an 05-06 M7 torque stop and an 07-10 M8-M1000 front motor mount mounted on the mag side of the motor.
The torque stop goes below the oil tank on a cross brace. You have to remove your oil tank in order to install it however.
The front motor mount goes in front of the motor just like the other one, just on the other side. There are already mounting holes drilled and tapped on the motor for the mount. Don't know why AC didn't just do it to begin with.
I did this to my M1000 and am happy with the results. Cost me like 100.00 through Babbitts for the parts.

I built a couple of mounts that mount to the 4 holes on the bottom of the motor,then to the round cross bar on the bulkhead.Hope they work
