Subject: [DSN_klr650] Anti-vibration mirror mounts Has anyone tried using an anti-vibration mirror mount on their KLR? This is a threaded insert of some type that goes between the mirror and the handlebar mount. Do they work? I can't remember where I saw them for sale. My mirrors vibrate pretty good till I hit about 70MPH. Most of my riding is below 70. My hands are ok; I wear gloves. Thanks for any advice.

But they actually vibrated worse on my bike than without them. And I stripped one out trying to tighten it up. I think they are a waste of money, they didnt stay on my bike more than 1 hour. Save your money for something else. MotorMark

[b]I sell the Honda mirrors that have the rubber isolators built into them.  These work really well for taking out the shakes.  BoB Carreras had some of the cheap mirror mounts you asked about when he came to the Utah Get-Together a couple of years ago and when he got here they fell apart.  Gel Grips work well for damping the vibration on your hands.[/b] [b][/b]  [b]Fred[/b] [b][/b]

>Hello all-I inherited a motorcycle trailer from a brother in law. Problem >is that the rails are only about 4 inches wide. I want to have new rails >made and would like to get opinions from others on what a good width would >be. My XR350 has tires almost 6" across so I am thinking about going to a 7 >inch width. Does anyone out there have a trailer for dirt bikes and could >measure the rail width?

Put the bike on the 4" rails and I think you'll find it's no worries. If you're worried, tie the wheels on.
