Destination Locke, a small old leaning Chinese town 24 miles south of Sac. I stopped to take a few pics along the way.
The vibration through the bars was buzzing me even on the relatively short ride! :roll:

Here's one of a couple of small PO's along the way, this one in Hood.

If you cross the bridge, you can continue along the other side of the river to Isleton, home of the crawdad festival.

Cut and pasted these two sides of the same street. Note the warped white building on the right.

On the return just before Sac. I always thought that looked like a flying saucer. 8-)

Looks like you had a really nice ride, Darrin. Now to solve your bar buzzing problem...

Love the colour of the bike! ;)

A perfect carb sync (during cable operation) will help with the vibe issue. Also try a throttle rocker IE:

With this you don't have to have the death grip on the RH grip and as such less vibrations will be felt. Just a thought....

Good tips. I've been meaning to use this early model synchronizer

and I've had the crampbuster for awhile so now would be the perfect time to clamp it on! :thumbup:

Go Giants :!: :D

Bar end weights may help too. I have them on my FZR400 and no buzzing.
