I took advantage of some down time today and decided to get my GP support installed. Thought I'd share a few thoughts on the install.

Have you noticed any vibration after the install? Just curious. My buddy had the dealership install the bearing support on his SEUC when he bought the bike.

He had a very, very annoying vibration at certain rpm's. (Due the the compensator being removed.) He eventually removed the gp bearing support and the vibration went away.

He's now looking to sell it, there's only about 200 miles on it.

I asked GP  as well as Ron @ RC (the designer) about vibrations with these some time ago. They both stated that the only ones that had a problem were bikes that the crank runout was excessive or there was some other misalignment in the drive train. I have not been out on mine yet due to wet weather.

The manual tells you to check the runout but does not tell you that you'll need to have a 7/8" fine thread nut and a couple of 7/8" washers. (quick trip to the hardware store cause I could not find one from a previuos install). You need to thread the nut onto the crank so you can turn the engine around to check it.

Next a shot checking the crank runout. GP states that normal is .001" - .005" Anything more that .015" and you have problems. Mine was at .0035".

No plans yet, I probably hang onto it for a while. Are you in need of one?

I am relatively confident that I'll be shopping for one in the future after I get my 120" back from Zippers. However it's a 2007 and I think that the design changed.

Regards,
John

Mark, mine has been on a couple thousand miles now.  No vibration issues with it.  Some minor difference you feel before and after.  But nothing that is any kind of issue at all.

We put one on Kathy's Street Glide when we did the 95" kit. 12000 miles and if there was the slightest vibration it would be out of there. That woman can hear and feel everything. Which is a good thing :2vrolijk_21:

I rode the bike and I could feel the slight vibration every now and then at certain rpm's. At 60-65mph it was non stop slight buzzing.

I told him something's not right and to check into it further to see if something else was the cause of the problem. But he had the dealership remove it and now he's happy.
