I looked into the Borgeson stuff & it is pricey. But, building a better ride sometimes has higher costs associated w/the improvements. I'd prefer the improved steering response for sure as well as removing the rubber isolation ring that has & can fail again. But, I don't want to add to the transfer of vibrations if @ all possible.
I was also looking @ Flaming Rivers "Vibration Resistant U-Joints" as an alternative to combat or minimize NVH transfer. Just thought I would use this as an opportunity to see if others came up w/different ideas since this thread was last active.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
