[QUOTE="Vasco Teixeira, post: 889439, member: 27906"] Well just took the bike for a 100km ride and definitely the rubber dampers don't work.. In straight roads its ok but in the corners it robs front end feel, feels vague when counter steering into a slow corner (okay I know this is subjective, it's just my experience) At one point I was actually feeling more vibrations than before, well I had the tools in the bike so did the obvious thing, stopped by the roadside, removed the handlebars and removed the rubber parts. They where actually somewhat worn by now causing the excessive vibrations after these few km, so much for this idea then.. replaced the handlebars, and it was much better. Yes the vibrations are very objectionable as it's a personal thing, some people don't get bothered, others do, simple as that. Will try the TBS next, but again I say that my FJR is very reasonable as is. What helped a lot also was the throttle spring unwind, the vibrations remain the same but as you don't need to grab the grip as strong, you don't feel them as much. Vasco [/QUOTE]
