Customized by Deus it sure looks like a lot of weight and visual clutter has been stripped off it. ]]> Buzz Kanter http://www.aimag.com/forums/harley-sportster-buell/7487-australian-custom-sportster-bobber.html http://www.aimag.com/forums/harley-sportster-buell/7463-2002-sportster-front-tire-break-job.html Mon, 16 Nov 2009 22:31:41 GMT It's been a very long time between bikes (30 or so years ) and I have know idea what costs are associated with the service work mentioned above . Keep in mind I don't at this point in my life do this work myself. Conesquently, I'm trying to come up with what I might expect to spend in the Spring .

That problem, addressed... The rubber less motor mounts on my 1200 C 2003 Sporty (and, I presume, its predecessors) create a lot of handlebar vibration. That problem, addressed by the rubber-mounted motor in 2004, solved much of that difficulty.

I've read about numerous solutions to ameliorate the the vibration - bar snakes and the various handlebar stuffing options (buck shot and Silicone), do-hickeys that have offset counterweights that fit inside the handlebars to change the harmonic, changing the sprocket to move the harmonic point of the engine to a specific and more convenient RPM, etc. But I've not yet seen a solution that seems to be a true cure-all.

Does anyone make a retrofit rubber-mount system, or a spring type insert of some design, or anything new that would solve the problem? With hundreds of thousands of Sportys still chugging around, looks like some innovative engineering type could come up with a safe interface adaptable to the existing motor mount hard points to help cure this problem. Got one that really works? Invent one an make yourself a fortune, because I'm up for it if it really works.

Found a drop of oil on the casing by the starter on my '05 XL1200C. Just a small drop but looks like it may have com from between the head and cylinder on the back cylinder. What do ya think, maybe a retorque? It's been spotless up to this point. 27,000 miles on it. ]]> grampadac http://www.aimag.com/forums/harley-sportster-buell/7318-oil-leak.html
