just tripped over these pics , all credits to argh , err . . http://ensanian.com/AE/NortonIsolastic.htm

Here are photos of a solid mounted Norton engine in a flat track race frame by Redline. Photos are from the Ashland, Ohio vintage flat track races in July of 2009. The added rigidity of solid mounting provides great control, especially at the high turning and drifting speeds these guys travel on in the dirt. The proof was in the pudding....Dave Atherton was unbeatable in his class.

Def looks like its screwed down, duct tape for flying debris protection?[keep it nice & polished/shiny rather than grit blasted finish?]

Some speedway riders also use the duck tap to cover their crack at their rear end-in case they fall off
