Passenger Peg Vibration
Hello All. The passenger footpegs on the early GT380s vibrate horribly due to being the muffler attachment to the frame. Has anyone used a silicone or some other method to isolate the bracket from the mufflers to reduce some of the tingles? Thanks.

Don't think silicone would help - you have to tighten that stuff pretty tight, it'd just squeeze out of the joint.
If you could rig up a proper isolated rubber mount like one of those cotton reel rubber mounts (some exhausts use them) that could work.

Re: Passenger Peg Vibration
Thank you, There is not much clearance on that exhaust mount, but will try something like that.

Re: Passenger Peg Vibration
I cut some thin rubber to fit between the inner & outer brackets and this helped on my 550s.
Think of how stupid the average person is, then realise that half of them are more stupid than that.
