Frame and Foam?
steeldust:
I was just wondering since you use expandble foam in the handle bars for reduced vibration does anybody think that filling the frame with the same foam might help on vibration?

Never tried it mate, dunno :)
mikesmith:
Im sure it would,but kind of overkill I think.Oversize bars,foam in the bars or weights on the ends,and Paul swears by aluminum bar mount cones,type of grips,shimming motor mounts that need it,keeping all bolts tight,running high temp silicone around the head pipe to cylinder joint,and balancing the crank all help reduce vibration.
Rowdy-Yates:
If you must do something squirt some silicone caulking in there. Dont forget to make sure your steering head is not loose this is a major cause of headshake. Oh and check you headstay brackets.
mikesmith:
It may seem so,but Ive filled my bars with expandable foam and it does work,try it.
