Hi all been out on the old trike today (cant pass up these nice days) and just after any info you guys and gals can give me as lots of you have been doing this for a long time and have built many a machine, and I'm only a new boy at this..
. I got my trike (which will be in the trike section soon..) at the start or the year it is based on an XS750 with a narrowed capri back axle (hard tail) and a bandit front end and although its great fun round town it is quite hard work on longer journeys (if I could sort this I could go on a few more runs
) Its great up to speeds of say 45/50 but at 50 or over I do seem to get alot of vibration, I dont have a rev counter fitted so dont know if it could just be over revving but dont think so as I have had it over 70 and it never went bang (just lost a few fillings)
, is it just the nature or the XS750 lump
... are they prone to a lot of vibration
I have considered trying to some how rubber mount the engine to see if this would help
any ideas would be greatfully received because if I could sort this it would be much more fun to ride longer distances and I could get to more rallys and fun days
..
Thanks..
P.S what sort of pressure do you guys and gals run your front and back tyres at have tried various settings but dont seem to make much difference (still get catapulted out the seat at pot holes
)
