make sure it is the mounts first, cos its usually the welds holing the bracket to the centre pipe that snap, can be fixed with just a jubilee clip or have it re welded

mine was the same everytime i turned right, was a certain rev range where it would resonate, i fixed mine by buying a new centre pipe off the bay, 40 quid for a straight through pipe

If the noise is apparant on turn but then can be killed with alternating revs, it would suggest exhaust.

exhaust what?

either the baffles loose or the bracket has snapped, and the bracket snapping is a common problem, the bracket is on the centre pipe below the gear lever
