Not flaming you guys at all... I love the power! Just hate the vibes.. You stopped or slowed the symptoms of the vibrations, but never cured the problem.
I got tired of the hand/arm fatigue of trying to hang onto the beast and the vibration made it alot worse... had multiple frame cracks, again trying solid mounting, rubber mounting, and neoprene bushings to help isolate the motor... It did make it much more tolerable, but not good enough.... gone, sold, good-bye.

I only tinker with the counterbalanced motors now... besides, it's great fun to be the underdog and deliver some good old fashioned butt whoopings...

Regards,

 

yea by sunday its hard to close your hands and open them all the way, but goes away by tuesday.

 

The swap is a pretty easy one. The only problem is with the pipe you will need to do some cutting and welding or just build a new one that will fit.
