| | Re: take a tip...leave a tip There are other things I've done to calm the bikes down...lined the fenders and chaingard with thick weatherstrip, wrapped the seat springs with solder, and used a small amount of gaffers tape where the engine mounts to the frame...not a rubber mount, which can make things worse sometimes, just a double layer of gaffers or "friction" tape.
I filled one bikes tubing with expanding foam and it helped, but not as much as I thought it would.

Couple of pounds maybe? I moved into my new digs and in the garge was a couple vitamin bottles full of "))" shot, I just poured it in. I don't know what it would cost to buy it, and since lead is supposed to be the metallic satan, I don't know how many would want to try it.
At least I didn't fill the bars with mercury.

Spooky is a great company, Roland build's excelent bike's and alway's take's care of his costumer's. So does Dan at thatdax, you cant go wrong with either one. I hope this is what you were asking? |

Spookytooth sells kits and complete bikes and has a forum on their site, here we don't sell anything.

| | Re: take a tip...leave a tip I am using a dual lever to work a cable driven disk brake, in combination with a v brake at the rim. Got better stopping power on my front brake cause two brakes on the front tire, plus theres the rear working off a single lever on the right side. My front brakes work with the dual lever on the left. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
