Ever since getting back from my stint in Afghanistan my bike just has not rode right. At certain speeds the bike had a severe shake/vibration. It would shake so bad it seemed it was trying to buck my tank off the bike. It has been driving me nuts for awhile. I looked over the whole front end, checked for loose bolts, checked for loose handlebars, tried tightening the stem bolt. Nothing seemed to work.
Well my last resort, I went ahead and just replaced the rubber handlebar bushings with some polyurethane ones (theory would tell us these would ride harder). All I can say now is WOW . The bike is a dream to ride again with no more shakes and smoother that the day I bought her. The old rubber ones did not look bad but apparently they where.
If you have similar problems its worth a try. For $16 shipped from Ebay why not? :up:
