My bike hangs out in the garage, right where I want it to be. I wouldn't subject it to living in the house even if it was allowed to! I just gotta walk across the driveway when I wanna sit and talk with it. Maybe I should consider getting a love seat for the garage. Hmmm...

I only put mine in an outside building because it's easier to get it out of the building.

Why is YOUR bike not with YOU ???...lol.

Because I have not taken it into the city yet (I live in an apartment). Storing is possible but complicated here.

Hello. I want to buy vibration mounts.

I live in the Baltics, and shipping from bikeberry.com is too expensive for me. I don't find any from Aliexpress either.

What should I do/where should I buy them?

What things could I dismantle (made of rubber) that I could put between the engine mounts and bike frame?

Also, crank balancing should be a long-term fix to huge vibration (at 6k rpm). I have never heard of it, and I don't plan to do it in the near future, but if there are, could someone point me to some guides or explain what it is and based on what am I drilling holes?

Rubber mounts don't help much with vibration and they give the motor to much room to flex which ends up with broken chains or worse. If you want to get less vibration either buy a balanced crank on send yours out to someone who can balance it for you, like Www.donsspeedshop.biz, or other builders. I've been building these for many years and have tried many things and nothing compared to a balanced crank. Hope this helps.

And does www.Donsspeedshop.biz even do business in the Baltics countries of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia???

Please be sure to have that information before making these recommendations of businesses...We are a world wide forum...Not everyone lives in the USA or Canada you know...lol.

DONT DO IT! Those mounts just make for a loose fit that eventually twists and breaks stuff and can actually add vibration because it has room to flex on one side then slam on the other. Your best bet is crank balancing and trueing. My favorite balance factor is 56-57%. Go on YouTube for information on trueing/ balance.
This will get you close.

Good luck! Have fun! Don't forget to hit your shafts with some scotch bright to help the seals!

Okay, guys. I got my engine running. Before I put pieces of old inner tube as a vibration mount, but I assume it's too much as someone said that too much can make it worse. I will remove some of it once I get to it

As for Baltic businesses, if they do business in either one of the Baltic countries, they can ship the parts to all of them. We have multiple parcel companies.

EDIT: as far as I know, shipping from the USA to the Baltics costs a lot of money, so that's probably not going to happen.

Yep, Your picture shows too much rubber.

Here is a pic of mine so you can see the difference...I only use one layer, not multiple bunched up layers of rubber.
