What do you want; But, you can't get?
Rick:
Wow, didn't know there was so much consternation with the stock tripples. I run stock top an bottom, custom towers that lift the Pro Taper bars 1 inch (the same Pro Tapers I have used for the last 3 years in fact), a Scott top mount so I can run the dampener, all mounted in the stock rubber mounts. I also have the brass vibration dampeners in the ends of my bars.
I think Paul tossed his rubber tower mounts, and has replaced with aluminum units. Not sure I understand why, as I would have thought the rubber reduces vibration. I know the bars will twist in a crash with the rubber mounts, but hey, just don't crash :wink: .

Paul:
Believe it or not, the solids transfer LESS vibration to my hands than the rubbers did. Anyone coming to Glamis is welcome to ride the bike and see for yourself. This is not going to be the balanced / trued crank monster though. This is a little stocker with a wore out topend and banged up pipe. Gotta save the racer for January ;)
HULKSTER:
here is a sweet bar setup....
Pricey but worth it....
Paul:
Some how I don't believe my Scotts will fit on there ;)
mikesmith:
I've read a test on that bar and the rider said "it was the best SUSPENSION mod he had"makes me want to try one, but the price doesn't!
