Ok so I've had about a week so far of riding my bike and I am hooked. I have also experienced some of the problems that make it not such a "happy time." This leads me to a few questions:
1. Vibrations - What kind of rubber is recommended that people have added to mounts? Just a cut up car tire, that sorbothane stuff, or something else a hardware store might have?
2. Because of the vibrations my spark plug actually came out. Does anyone recommend putting loctite on the plug threads?
3. Chain rub on tire and frame. Just can't get it to miss both. Any ideas?
4. Exhaust gasket - buy a new one from a MB parts dealer, use high temp rtv, or does it make a difference without one?
Here are some better pics of the new ride, one showing my custom mount, one with my rear tire setup, and others of the complete ride. Just let me know if anymore pics are needed.
Thanks in advance,
Corey
