Clubman vibration damper

02 Jun 2011 14:52

I have 7/8 clubmans from z1e and after about 30 min of riding my arms are already numb from viration. Anyone recommend a good damper?

Sorry no, but why the vibration? They all do some, but is yours excessive. Even cylinder compression, and the carbs synched good? Nothing loose, like motor mount bolts? Bad drive chain?

Look here: www.barsnake.com/ Other riders have had success by filling the hollow handlebars with the black RTV compound. I suppose a RTV like caulking compound would work too. Just make sure it's not the adhesive/sealant as it sets up hard and would not work.

Look on Ebay for bar end weights from an 86-90 Yamaha Radian.7/8 inch dia. fit,,long and with rubber grommets on the ends.They should do the trick and can usually be found cheap.bj

I picked up a set at the local shop bar end type kinda small though. I'll try en out for 20 bucks.

The vibrations seem no different then normal. But I will double check my mounts since the engine was out

Bar end ones seem to have cut vibs down by 60%

added an emgo cafe fairing as well. It is ok but I find it pushes the wind right into my face.
