RPM related Vibration
#1
Someone in the past on one of these forums said he loved his AC 500 but it had more rattles than a Jamacian Band. Thought that was pretty funny, still do. I have picked up a very loud vibration when down shifting at the same rpm range irrelavent to gear. After close inspection it is coming from the plastic skid plate, toward the back about a foot from the end. There is not much holding it there and I can move it up and down against the frame.
Well here is the question. I thought I would use some heavy duty wrap ties one on each side to secure after drilling a small hole. Does this sound resonable or has someone else found a better solution?

The screws are tight the material is bulged up just a little and it is enough to vibrate. I used the wrap ties, one on each side and it tighten up the bulge with a slight indent were the tie is, so I think the objects will not get at the wrap ties. Will see how long this lasts. The skid plate material seems a litttle bunched up in places but maybe it is needed for colder temperatures.
I had a aluminum skid plate, full length, on a Rancher. It was rock solid when installed, and offered great protection. The only negative I noticed was it amplified any thing that hit it. It took a couple of rides to get use to the increased sound level when you tagged a piece of wood at 20mph.
