Was thinking about installing the counter balance in my 08 te450. Researched the hell out of it and pretty sure i can get it done on my own. Before i split this thing open thought i might look into something i had on a fxr Harley. They rubber mounted the engine on select models and they are the smoothest riding harleys ever in my opinion. Any reason a person couldnt rubber mount the front 4 attach points at the frame and even fab up a swingarm bushing at rear were engine attaches to frame. HA King has the type of parts to possibly make this work. Some areas may need extra attention like muffle, hoses, throttle body etc but all are rubber as well so may just where out a little faster. Any thoughts out there on the subject? I could just sell it and buy something else but that would be to easy. On a another lighter subject. Who makes the best replacement plastics.
Flex bars help a tad but clearly do not eliminate the vibes eminating from the pegs. In the bush riding hard or on focussed single track you do not notice the vibes. Over time it becomes part and parcel of the bike.
