I'm looking for all the possible ways of reducing vibration on my Lammie. I'm sure there's loads of things you can do which would all together make a huge difference. Comment people? Thanks.

Not overly tightened engine bar nuts. Larger silent blocks. Handle bar end weights. Foam handle bar grips. Just a few to start with.

Make sure your flywheel and crank are balenced and true

They're bits that you stick in the ends of the handlebars which are said to reduce vibes, man. Think Power Ranger bikes have them.

MB sell brass throttle and gear change wheels for inside the head set, increasing the weight at the head set with these and handle bar weights will reduce the vibration, something to do with increasing the mass of the handle bars vrs the vibration transfered from the engine/ road. The bar end weight work cos I've got a pair that I drilled out slightly deeper and infilled with some fishing weights and araldite. :mrgreen: Don't know how much the stuff from MB costs tho
