Cheers, I've got some thick insertion rubber in the shed so I might try that. Good thing is it's cheeeep, like me.
I was surprised when I jumped on the boys old shit kicker klr to find it has a 6speed gearboxI wonder if it'd fit on the DR, he'd never know

have heard of someone filling their bars up with rtv silicone. Not sure what the result was though. Try it jatz and get back to us
I mentioned vegetables once, but I think I got away with it...........

Just don't do it if there's any switchgear locating holes in your bars...have heard of someone filling their bars up with rtv silicone. Not sure what the result was though. Try it jatz and get back to us

Yebut then they'd be waterproofand besides, the DR was built before they had switchgear locating holes

where are you at with the engine rebuild on the big?Yebut then they'd be waterproof

If you want to know about vibration dampening, check the KTM LC4 (640) Index Thread. If it's been tried, it'll be written up in there.
And all I can suggest about vibe-dampening on a KLR is... HTFU, Princess!

I thought Jatz wanted it for his Big (which we are giving the sought after status of "honarary KLR" because it has character)If you want to know about vibration dampening, check the KTM LC4 (640) Index Thread. If it's been tried, it'll be written up in there.

KLR's don't vibrate enough to warrant dicking around.
my sons kdx didn't vibrate badly but it was enough to upset his rsi - the vibrinators made all the difference.
feck me - shipping cost via UPS for a Ricor back shock to NZ - $US196 - no thank you.

He'll be thrilled

Given the dubious effectiveness of many of the options, that's a smart move.
There's different sorts of vibrations. The 640 thumps, but faark does the 200 buzz! The 640 is like using a hammer... thump, thump, thump whereas the 200 is like using a power tool... zzzzzZZZZZ.
That's probably not the only option, just the automated one. IME many US websites don't have useful shipping options to NZ, but they'll usually do a reasonable option on request.

One hell of a ride.
Internet tough guy.
