Intiminators/Vibranators

[Monstaman]

Gonna put the benelli springs back in this week, although the interminatorators are bloody good i still think the front end is a wee bit soft.
?

Having a senior moment here, do the intimidatoratorsrator make the forks firmer or more supple?

And yes Woodman oil level and weight will make a HUGE difference.

Yes they do.

Firmer with chassis movement, more supple with wheel movement.

K, I am on it now, that was my understanding, doing some finding out on various options, would like adjustability as Suzy is a track slut as well as an avd rig so to stiffen the ol girl up for the track would be cool.

Thar's where the Intiminators shine and you also don't lose the suppleness over the bumps.

Sounds too good to be true eh.

After Xmas I will do something, but I will wait until we head away on holiday then timing doesn't matter and no pressure. .. no pressure is good

What about preload adjusters for the top of the forks as well?

I think one of the Stroms has a fork cap preload adjuster that fits?

Maybe...

What Nordie says they helped with the firmness and the suppleness. The only thing I do not like about them is that it feels very harsh when the front wheel comes down hard, but the upside is they are less likely to bottom out.

Pretty sure i stumbled across a site with ones just for the DR... they're not that complicated i s'pose

I stuck vibranators in the wr450 today and it took a noticeable amount of the buzz out off the bars. Makes the footpegs seem to buzz worse tho....

also put a set in my sons 250sx (took it up the road today - man its got some SNAP) and they seemed to take a bit of the buzz out of that to.

for the cost they make a very worthwhile improvement.

They don't miss a trick do they?

Fitted my vibratorynutters today, all went well except a vital part fell off inside my handlebars therefore requiring the removal of said handlebars to facilitate the removal of said vital part. .
Went for a short hoon around the streets and down the motorway and actually do seem pretty smooth now, although it was ok prior. Dunno why I got them really. Time will tell.
mmmm heineken.

I was wondering if they would make a difference on a bigger single with steel bars - I might get a set to try on the klr.

surely less vibration = less fatigue = longer ride days?
