GS750B motor mounts

[Guest]

Just checking over the old '77 today and noticed that something is amiss with bottom motor mounts. The left side bolt is not there and when I shine a light inside it doesn't look like there are any threads in the hole in the engine. On the right side there is a bolt but I don't see any spacer that goes between it and the engine.

It has been this way for probably the last 10 years because I bought the bike at least 10 years ago and never noticed it.

Comments, suggestions?

I know these older inline 4s are buzzy but would this cause more buzz than usual?

Thanks

Left side

Right side

Are bolts 17 and 18 and spacer 25 the ones I am dealing with here?

OK, I see how those wedge shaped "nuts" (#20) go in and work. The one on the right side fell right out when I took bolt #17 out but on the left side that nut is really stuck in the recess that it is in. The left side bolt (#18) is gone but that nut is really stuck in there. I can move the tail of it back and fourth by tapping but it and sprayed WD40 in but it is not coming out. It almost looks like there is a washer jammed in beside it making it tight.

Any thoughts...anyone?

Should that nut on the left side come out easily.

Those nuts are a pain in the nuts!

But yes, they should just drop right out. There shouldn't be a washer or anything up in there with them. Perhaps a PO got frustrated trying to install that one and jammed it up in there with something? Get a mirror and a good light source and see what's going on.
