I figured I should update this for posterity. I saw that the mid mount bars were contacting the frame horns because the mid mount rubber was too soft. There is about 5mm clearance between them. I loosened the mid-mount and put some hard rubber in between and tightened it back up to test it out. The result was no more wheel hoppage.
That little bit of movement and when the bars made contact would cause the engine/tranny to oscillate up and down. You can get it good and sideways pretty easily now in the rain and it doesn't complain. I had to do some rigorous testing just to make sure though
. All testing was done in a controlled, safe environment of course
