Front fork brace/vibrating bars/carb ?s

alex_in_az · 10-07-2019, 02:57 PM

does anyone have a recommendation for a fork brace to try and stiffen up the forks on my 2020 TBR7?
Also is it too early to be trying to dial the jetting in on the carb with only about 200 miles on the bike?
Finally, what can we do about the bars vibrating? I've done a couple of 90 minute rides and my hands feel very numb. do bar end weight work, is there a better handle bar mount we can use?

thanks, Alex

I've installed Grab on Grips. Pretty much gets rid of the vibration in the handle bars. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

You can do the same fork brace mod that I did on my hawk. Only problem is these are out of stock. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

You need 30mm Aluminum Fat bars with the added weight of brush guards and “Good” grips not MX waffle grips. This will significantly reduce bar vibes. Run the L & R mirror. Any extra weight will reduce the humm. And be mindful of the death grip when it’s uncalled for. This helps a lot.

I agree with adding good brush guards with an aluminum back bone. Not the Plastic ones that came on the TBR7.

the grips plus some bar end weights have cured the vibes thru the handle bars.

does anyone know which fork brace is a direct interchange for the TBR7? I checked the link you had and unfortunately, they're still out of stock.

There is no direct fit brace. The one linked is for a harley and requires minor modification and a little tweaking to narrow them up a tad.

the Chinese make cheap copies of ROX anti vibe risers...
vibanators in the ends of the handle bars....
Pack the bars with sand....

tighten the engine mount bolts..
