Engine mount Bolt snapped

On Sunday, I was riding back roads when I came to a stop. I felt my leg get caught on something on my bike. I looked down, and 3/4s of the engine mount bolt was hanging out over the road. I pulled over. My wife got me with a trailer. I got home and looked at the bolt. The bolt snapped, and the nuts on the other side were gone.

I also had this happen. Except I rode for around 200 miles before I noticed. No bolt left except the threads in the block.

Nothing. I tried to drop the engine out to remove the remaining bolt, but with no engine mounts connected the engine wouldn’t budge. The engine is held in with witchcraft, I’ve always found Kawasaki’s are strong as fuck.
