yes, but I THINK it's more like the older ones.

One critical note about those nose rings: The ones for the 160dz are too tight. They will fuse to the engine and defeat the soft mount all together. I strongly suggest taking a dremel sanding drum to the O ring until it's a slip fit, and installing it with lithium grease.

Also I wanted to pass on a little something. Although central doesn't have them, if you go direct to Merle and ask him, he has a mount he calls an "AR80". This is similar to the ARA, but the beams pick up all 4 holes. the weight difference is small and you have to use a nose ring former mounted in your cowl, BUT....here's the sweet part....so far, this is THE smoothest, most quiet mount I have ever run, period. I am probably going to sell the mount out of my V2 and replace it with an AR 80 very soon. It's that sweet.

It DOES let the engine move around a little more, so you have to be sure that your header is tight and your muffler/pipe can move as well. But this mount is the ticket so far.

I have no long term data so I can't tell you if it has more of a tendancy to trash O rings or whatever, but right now this looks like the best mount for a YS. Time will tell, I'll try to remember to give a report after a month or 2 of hard flying.

The AR 80 is a prototype mount, so I'm not positive it can be had yet, but I know he's had the design for quite some time. He also has something really really wicked in the works....like really cutting edge stuff. If I get into that mount, I'll post pics.
