Parts vibrating loose

[Memy1251]

HEY GUYS! Just built my first beauty. It’s running well and strong aside from when I picked up a nail. However I have a question about how you guys like to secure your gas tank and mufflers. My attached components are tending to vibrate loose. Am I just going too fast? Or if there another way to tighten things down?

Wrap an old innertube around your frame under the gas tank.

Make a strap to hold the muffler to the frame.

Both of these simple things also cut down the vibrations.

I use two sided tape between the tank & frame & also loctite on the tank bolts.
For the exhaust pipe, I always retorque the bolts after the first few rides.

Post a pic of your build as there is no way to know what problems your bike has.
I hope you did not put rubber under the motor mounts.

I’m gonna try the inner tube as that is available to me. Thank you!!

Loctite is also a good idea, I’ll use that!
