F4i motor mount problems

So i've dropped my f4i twice, going VERY slow and keep having problems with motormount bolts. Mind you, i have an FI cage. The side i dropped it on the first time, the bolt bent and just ripped out. This pulled most of the threads out with it. It also caused the bolt on the other frame slider to snap off where the threads start. We removed the rest of the bolt by drilling it out and using an extractor. Of course the threads were messed up from this also. Used heli-coils on both sides and put new bolts in. Seemd to be ok, had a slow drop again, now the bolt is loose. So what should i do now? I want a new cage, maybe that will help with the stress on that one specific area? The mechanic that works on my bike said that there's no hole on the backside to put a nut through.. ...I don't know much about it, so i'm looking for some solutions before this gets real expensive.
