I first saw these on Advrider. They run about $275.00 to your door. I finally got around to installing them. Very nice craftsmanship and they look awesome but they buzz from engine vibrations. Anyone got any ideas for some homemade rubber (Gasket Material) washers?

Looks like it offers good skid protection. Craig's right, get some solid rubber and make some washers and retork bolts. HD made this fix famous !!!!

Can't help you Brian. My Hepco Becker bars and Amotostuff skid are rock solid.


Not trying to brag, just letting you know that it is possible to have more weight than that hanging off and have it not vibrate.
