(ANTI VIBE BAR)

Old school

Fill your handlebars with lead shot size 8 or 9. Cap the ends with silicone.

(caution lead is harmful if sucked on or swallowed)

They help to reduce the vibration of the bike that you feel through the handlebars. This reduction in vibration translates into less fatigue and numbness in your arms and hands.

you can use great stuff foam insulation in comes in an aresol can and you just spray it into your bars and it expands and hardens and absorbs vibration i use it in my bikes and works great for less than $5 and no added weight you can get it at hardware stores

Go to the local tire shop and get some junk lead tire weights. Stuff some paper in the end of your bars to a depth of about 6-8 inches. Melt the lead in an old kitchen ladel with a propane tourch and pour it in the end of the bars.

Use better Grips,,,, Foam or Gel

If your hands are going numb dont hang on so Hard

I like that expanding aerosol foam idea. We use that stuff at work, and it just so happens that I have some in my garage. I will try it in the bars on my 500R, if it works as well as you say, I may even try filling the entire frame with it.

I have every intention of attending, I have my cabin reservation paid for and the day off work on Friday. My friend with the trailer who is driving us down broke threw his chain and broke his case around the shifting shaft. We are fixing it hopefully today. We are trying this brazing material called HTS-2000 to try and weld the piece back on. There isn't enough room to get a TIG torch in to where the cracks are, so this seems to be our best option. If that doesn't work, we are putting the motor out of my '04 TRX in his quad since I haven't gotten the title for mine yet and can't register it. One way or another, we are going to make it work.

      So I just did a top end kit on a 2005 700 Sportsman.  Started it up and it fired rite up.  But machine is vibrating very badly.  And I noticed that the clutch is very wobbly.  Any suggestions?

      Having recently bought a well used sportsman 450 with 20000 miles in northern Peru i found out ,among many other things that the swaybar is stuck solid,hence the harsh ride,so I removed the links and finally am enjoying a much smoother ride.
      My thoughts are to find a 1/2 " round steel rod with grooved ends instead of the awkward square tube which polaris fits and make a proper rotation bearings linkage.  By the way ,turning has improoved but I think a more flexible bar would
      bring back stability for a safe ride. The intake manifold adapter was cracked in two pieces and glued together with 2 component epoxy glue but didnt last long. This glue stuff (soldimix Peru) really sticks to this rubbish puttylike polaris rubber but the trick
      is to wrap a silk tape while the glue is still fresh overlapping both broken ends. Garanteed it will never come off again. Problem is the intake boot vibrates a lot and being more plastified than rubber for rigiditty´s sake it will end cracking by also bearing the weight
      of the carb body and airbox.

      Looking to put a light bar on my 570 Outlander:
      What is the biggest light this can handle?  Is there a point where the generator cant keep up with demand for power?  How can I determine what the limit is?
      Has anyone had luck with tapping into the high beam power for the headlights (instead of direct wire to the battery as many of the kits instruct)?

      I´m having this mixed feelings about how smooth the 500 engine of the 450 should feel within the 3500 and 4000 rpm range since it has a counterbalancer and is suposed to be factory balanced within this operational range.
      Mine vibrates a little to much for my experience with 500 singles and comparing them to my former Honda XR bikes during my motorcycle years. Engine cases have never been split so i asume the balancer is still correctly timed.
      Can anybody tell me if this is normal? Thanks in advance.
