Big rubber one got worn too quick perhaps it has to do with fact that i put scooter on center stand like 40-60 times a day when working on delivery (side stand is useless). Perhaps i could use neoprene or polyurethane universal bushings instead if i find one 40mm OD and length, ID 21mm also for the sides of engine mount because new engine mounts are no where to be purchased.
Ended up ordering this poly bushing from ebay hope it will last longer than rubber.

This is old rubber bushing that was replaced 3 month ago or less. Blue is generic polyurethane that is hard and impossible to squeeze at all, inner diameter of new bushing is less, outer is same, to have tighter fit i cut blue bushing across instead of drilling and turned it the opening to the side then slide it into metal sleeve of the frame, it was perfect fit. perhaps i can use some rubber compound to fill the gap on the side.
Yeah also what i think happened because old rubber bushing was so loose around the center mount rod and outer sleeve it did slide back into the sleeve so center mount was only touching half of the bushing this is why it worn out faster. good think i welded a wall around that sleeve back otherwise it could have even fall out trough the back!
