Pipe Mount pictures

(1/2) > >>

vaaprider:
Does anyone have close up pics of the top pipe mount (hangs from backbone above the cylinder head.)? Mine is broken in the middle (half a circle is all that is left) and I would like to fab a new one but I need to know what the original looked like. Thanks

tharden:
I have had the same problems with my bike and welded a 1/8" piece of plate on it and then it broke.  I later cut off the entire bracket and then made a bracket that wrapped around the frame under the coil with a piece of rubber under it with the isolator mount.  It has not broke thus far and really does a good job at isolating the vibration from the pipe to the frame. 

vaaprider:
That sounds like a winner
Thanks.

Hello, could you please take some pics of what you're describing here?  If not pics... then perhaps a quick drawing/sketch of what you did?  Thanks man.

I still have not got around to trimming the rubber but here it is.
