I actually want an ETD asap to preserve my current mounts. The right one may need to be changed anyway but I believe the ETD will assist it a lot.

Yeah, and we never really landed on the moon, it was all done in a TV studio. And don't forget that it was our own President that brought down the World Trade Center on 9/11, just so he could invade Iraq.

I can tell you guys with 99.9% authority that it was their choice not to be a sponsor anymore, and when you don't pay the bill, the "Banned" label appears. Has happened to many other sponsors as well.

I'm aware of the automatic Banned label for sponsors. The person that told me was Billman250. He told me a few other things also.

Sounds great to me! What brand ETD do you have? I want to buy the Seeker which is identical to Spoon which is not made anymore or the M&M which comes with the pre (hole) cut shield but costs a lot more because of that

I bought the NRG one and the puddymod bracket which includes a template for making the hole in your existing heatshield. I believe NRG sells one with a heatshield that has the hole as well

To clear some things up, Ballade is no longer a sponsor because a lot of things have changed and a lot of people are using facebook for sales as opposed to the forum. On the motor mount dilemna, the ballade mounts are a bit softer then spoon and do not cause vibrations like them. They also offer a lifetime warranty, and are solid rubber and do not fail like the oem mounts
