Vibration

[mseifert]

I took my Bulldog on a 2 hour ride to J&P Cycle in Pigeon Forge, TN. My hands and feet were numb when I was finished. I would like to know how I minimize vibration on my Bulldog or if it is possible. Thanks

You can swap out the handlebar bushings. If you can find or make some, I stuck a pair of Vibratron handlebar dampeners in my Pit. Made a world of difference but I dont think they in biz anymore. They are just a chunk of metal held by a bolt and rubber plug. Suspends the metal and it reduces vibration. JerseyBigMike swore by the Copperfit gloves. Good luck.

Ps, make sure you dont have stick on wheel weights. Dyna beads will smooth out ur ride.

I had the same problem many years ago until I put Dynabeads in the tires. Really makes a huge difference. Good luck

Like Hman said, HDM has a res handle bar bushing, that will help a bit. I also found a piece of pipe, about the same size as my handle bars, and used it as a mold to pour about a 2 1/2'' lead slug. Then glued it in the end of the handle bars with silicone. That really helped.

Handle bar vibration

Tapio is the one that turned me on to this. And as he was telling me about it I got to thinking. On my 03, the handle bar ends were to short for the grips to slide all the way on, so the end of the left one was squishy. So I took a piece of aluminum and drove it in the end of the bar to add...

I contacted this guy a few years back about making some 1.5, but never heard back after first contact.
