Hi

If you get your crank balanced for the Featherbed frame there is no need to rubber mount them, I have been running my 850 in a Wideline Featherbed frame since 1980 and it runs pretty smooth, when I rebuilt my motor resently all my engine mount bolts were as tight as when I first put them in 1980, just shows how smooth you can get your Norton running with a bit of balancing.

Glad a higher BF crank can protect the featherbed frame, similar to about all the other solid mounts ever produced, but just how smooth is it compared to a Cdo?
Can ya feel the valve train buzz too? How long is riding it go unaffected by sensory annoyance? Purely academic to me, spent long time investigating BF to tell Lindskogs what to do. i know about solid mount big vertical twins and Vtwins and struck them off my list to desire. My dragster P!! hurt me anything over speeding ticket rates and my SV650 takes about 30 min to annoy. Interesting every configuration I've tried seems most pleasant 3500>5500 rpm.
 
I'm glad I won't (shouldn't) need to rebalance the crank in my motor. With the frame I bought already being set up for the Commando motor/trans (who knows how well it's been done--we'll see when it gets here), I plan on just setting it up with isos and going with it. Then again, that project is probably a way off, but good to know I'll have a lot of the things I need to at least get started!

Hi

I live in Australia so any ride I do is long distance, I have done a few interstate trips and have never had any problems with been uncomfortable, yes I do get a few aces and pains on long distance trips but you get that on any bike, it runs nearly as smooth as my old Commando but I also throw it around corners a lot harder and faster and I nomaly cruise around 70 mph or faster if I can get away with it, to many speed traps on the roads these days as well its very good on the dirt roads.

Vibration of hi freq. like from engine or rough road texture makes the nerve endings buzz, tingle and sting, sometimes all the way to the teeth and dull sense of contact interface.

Bad posture and long 'held' postures causes the deeper aches/pains from pressure/distraction of the central nervous system which restricts circulation of blood and internal flow along nerves.

Commonly they combine to magnify each other. Good sign the longer body and bike lets you endure.

Stronger vibration like stomping a tire bead or bounced over plowed field can get ya good too, but usually after some delay.
