Rubber Bushing on mounting brackets

[Gimmick]

well, i got some thin urethane from a mechanic friend of mine and placed it on the mounting brackets, but only on the ones outside the frame tubes ( in the clamps). I have not gotten up the nerve to remove metal from the motor side of the mounts in order to accomidate the bushing material...soon. However, i did notice some decrease in overall vibration levels...

also u can try putting insulating foam in the frame and the handle bars that helps also

I tried to use the vibration mounts I bought but couldn't figure out any way that I felt good about. The vibration mounts are really intended to be used only in compression and not tension or shear, and I couldn't find a way to mount them that would ensure that they'd not suffer any tension or shearing force.

I've got a small sheet of 1/16" urethane from MMC and I'll use that in-between a few washers, and then a bolt going all the way through.

during this week i noticed that the vibration increased. i'm suspecting it's because of the improper tension of the chain (as the sprocket isn't in the exact centre so the chain loosens and tights while turning) or the vibration can be coming from the engine 9which is not a good thing !!)
