Default goooood vibration????? NOT

Ok I have a small solution for arm tiring vibration. It actually made a difference. here you go. I am sure someone else had this already but i dun see it on here. Figured I would share.

Find a good piece of very solid but soft rubber material. The best one to use are those Science test tube rubber lid. Insert them inside the front fork just before half way. You also need to insert a pair in your handle bar. The rubbers inside the front forks absorb the vibration that you get from the road that transfers to your wheel to your forks. Well you know what I mean.

Make sure they are tight fit inside in order for them to work. Why buy those high price vibration pieces if you can make them yourself? Well hope that helps. Message me for any questions.

GOOD LUCK.

Another solution to kill vibrations:

Go to your local hardware store. You are going to pick up 4 6mmx20 bolts for the bottom of your engine (original bolts are 6mmx15), 1 6mmx20 bolt + 1 locknut for your exhaust, 1 6mmx20 bolt + 1 locknut for your upper engine mount (frame), and 2 5mmx12 bolts for your upper engine mount (engine). Pick up a handful of sealing washers (rubber on one side, metal on the other) - you will need two per bolt. Replace lower engine bolts with longer bolts, set sealing washers between engine and mounting plate. Do the same for every single bolt attaching engine and exhaust to frame. (Using a pair of sealing washers under the seat helps, too.)

Performance increase: lessens engine vibration, keeps fillings in teeth where they should be, decreased butt massage....
