Default rubber mounted engine?

Has anyone ever tried putting some rubber washers under the motor mounts to take out some of the vibrations? I have arthritis really bad and the vibrations give my hands and feet a lot of issues after a half day of riding. Just thinking that taking out some of the vibrations would help me a lot with the end of the day.

Agree

Also do a search on here for the carbon fiber bars from Twisted Engineering. Sounds like a lot of people are loving them.

As for your question about motor mounts. My honest opinion would be not to mess with them. Those bolts and mounts are designed and engineered to handle the torque of the motor period. Making it a softer connection could cause issues down the road.... Just my opinion

if the motor would be suspended on rubber mounts, the chain would allways be 100% inline ...making it impossible to make it all work fine. just my 2ct.

rubbers under the handlebar clamps might do something too...

good luck, hope find what you needs to keep riding .

ciao, Hannes.
