Has anyone else noticed that the lower front engine mount stud on the P11 is 5/16 inch while the frame hole is 3/8 inch? It apparently did not concern either the guys at ZDS or the factory, but as much vibration as the big twin genetrates and the mounting plates being aluminum with toothed lockwashers on the stud nuts, it seems like a prime opportunity for the stud to loosen.
My quick and dirty solution has been to cut sections of 3/8 inch OD stainless tubing (0.030 inch wall) and use them as spacers. I'm sure a proper spacer made from a section of 3/8 inch bar stock bored to 5/16 inch ID would be better, but I had the tubing in the shop.
