Sorry one more question

I do this: take a steel plate (about 2 x 12 inches long or so/you'll have to measure mount distance alone the front of the swing arm), drill four holes that match where the front engine mounts go, remove both front engine mounts and install the plate in its place. Never have to worry about engine moving back, little more torque, and no messing with the tensioner anymore.

I usually put a larger nut under the plate or some sort of spacer about half an inch tall where it bolts up to raise the engine back to factory.

I took a 3x1/4"x20 bolt threaded all the way, and welded a 1/4" washer on edge to the head of the bolt. and replaced the cable with that. Then the washer sits in the slot where the T on the cable used to be, and I put a 1/4" bolt and nut through the hole. The long threaded end goes through the bracket on the motor mount, with a lock nut on each side to adjust how much movement you want. Sorry don't have a picture.

i've done what mike did and sort of what sprid did. my g9 was missing the ten. so i made a backet very simmiler to mikes but my 1/4'' s/s bolt broke from the engine torque, taking the ten. tower out with it... so i bolted the engine to the frame with rubber blocks to make up for the hight, and too reduce vibs. works good so far.
