    solid engine isolators

    I have seen several members here making nifty solid mounts to replace the rubber isolators at the engine mounts. What are the R&D test results from these? Is the extra vibration noticeably bad? Is there any noticeable handling improvement?
    Healthy is merely the slowest rate at which you can die

    Some people will tell you that slow is good - and it may be, on some days - but I am here to tell you that fast is better. I’ve always believed this, in spite of the trouble it’s caused me. Being shot out of a cannon will always be better than being squeezed out of a tube. That is why God made fast motorcycles, Bubba….Hunter S. Thompson

      I fitted solid mounts and haven't noticed any vibrations at all. The bike fair glides along like a Swiss watch..

      I did fit some bar end weights (from the XJR1300) just in case but I don't think it needed them anyway.

          Maybe you're right..

          Do I see from your profile that you finally got your hands on a Busa pump?

          Would love to see where you're going to mount it!
