I tried GPs, rubber mounted risers and different gloves.
I could have maybe lived with it, on real long trips(over three hours) something happens and it quits bugging me.
But, I still didn't like the idea of the imbalance. When I was a kid, my dad was friends and partners with a genius cam guy who had a shop in San Jose. Used to push a broom a little for him and he always had two or three lathes running. This was before CNC and at least as much art as science.Local dirt trackers and hot rodders kept him busy, and in the mid sixties he had one in an Indy car.
Anyway, some of that stuff seeped in. Also spent most of my working life as an auto diagnostic tech and tuneup/ driveability guy.
Messing with good cams to make a better noise just twists my panties.
I know Triumph went to 270 degree crank for effect, and Harley guys revolted when the old fashioned rumble was messed with a few years ago.
I am quite happy with the sewing machine qualities of the way it runs now. Hope to do it right, and at least get back to even on the HP.
