Ruberisation and vibration damping foam. I get it. Neat ideas(y)

I'm playing with little gel pads to take the rattle away from some mounted accessories (e.g. U-lock and Disc locks) in the hope it doesnt permenantly compress like some foams might.

It's a balance whethet I use foam or gel. Too hard a foam (yes more durable but more likely to transmit noise/ vibtrations) too soft a foam (less durable and prone to perm compress).

Hence now playing with gel next. Wish me luck (plus I may just have to foam up my mirror extenders too and see how much of a difference it makes).

Gel should work! I presume as long as it in the shape you need or if it's form-able... It can be a bit challenging to get the right firmness of foam. That being said it's out there! I happen to have an assortment of soft to hard foam on hand. Any foam or gel on extenders can only make it better. But, I believe foam would make a better choice in this application. JMHO.

Thanks to Bentleyss and his thread "Center stand and Sidestand clean up.." I was inspired to paint my main stand and side stand. In my first make over I had them powder coated which in theory should be superior in durability vs paint. Soooooo, I slapped on 8 coats of black and four coats of clear. And will have until spring to "cure". I'm curious to see what they'll look like at then end of next season... Wow! Looks amazing! Thank you Benltleyss. At the same time I'm vinyling and painting main parts of my brother's 99 CBR600F4.
