[QUOTE="Pushrod Twin, post: 93177, member: 340"] Thanks, that is one of life's choices, putting the time into your project & taking 30 years as I have, or doing a "cheap quick job" & living with "compromises" but getting some enjoyment out of the finished article. :D I have now become impatient, old age & knowing that time is running out, so currently leaning more towards "quick" to get some use out this before I'm too old to kick it into life! Down Under, we have never had the luxury of an after market supply of items such as seats, the country is too small to support it, so we tend to make stuff like that. However, the internet has made life easier, I bought the Suzuki handlebars off our local auction site, then binned the modern bar end weights because I insist on having my favourite mirror there instead. So, the vibrations are not so much in the bars, they are rubber mounted in the shortened Benelli Tornado forks, but more in the pegs. Luckily, at 60-70 it is smooth, which is where it needs to be. :) I resealed the 2 leaking push rod tubes last night. A run out with the local Vintage Car Club M/C section this morning will prove whether it is fixed or worse. :D [/QUOTE]
