you can do one of two things - mount the engine, drive train and swing-arm on a subframe, like a Norton Commando, or mount the engine on rubbers like a car. I don't see why this wouldn't work with Harley style mountings, which are like a car anyway. Most such mountings have snubbers of various descriptions. You could use a belt drive to take up the flex.
I don't really see why that would be worth the effort on a 45, though, they are sweet little things.... Commandos had a very mixed reputation back in the day, for the constant maintenance and adjustment they needed and the results if this wasn't done. Then again, I'd think that a 45 with those rubber-mounted risers, well-worn pogo seat and low-pressure 5.00 x 16" wheels would wander about as well as any Commando...
