Foam cuts down vibration?
mysnykkx500:
I have used the construction foam "gret stuff" as draft stop in houses and I will be the first to tell you that stuff gets about rock hard. If you do not believe me go buy a can and fill a soda bottle or can with it and let it dry.... INDESTRUCTIBLE! But not too heavy.
cbr600f31997:
did this ever get tested?
TheGDog:
Hrmm... I already filled my handlebars with silicone caulk. It helped the vibration a mild degree. SIGH... I guess I'm gonna hae to just get some bar-end weights then. Being a software engineer, I'm borderline carpel-tunnel anyway as it is. I need all the help I can get with the K5's vibes.
In the meantime... I make it a point to audibly tell myself out-loud while riding to relax my death-grip on the bars whenever the terrain eases up for a sec. But still... I get to a point where I just have to go back to camp and let the fore-arm pump go back down for my own safety.
