Does anyone know if a Lonestar or other anti-vibe stem mount will fit a Modquad steering stem? I got the Modquad stem and mount for it's anti-vibe capabilities, and I must say.....I'm not impressed. I don't notice any difference. They use hard white plastic material for the mounts. I figured it would have some sort of rubber mount. All the pics I've seen of Lonestar mounts have rubber on them.
I have a burgard and a buddy has a HPD anti vibe mount and they are both HARD rubber/plastic mounts. They dont do much.
Well shit. Not what I wanted to hear, but thanks for the info. Back to square one trying to find a solution to my hands going numb from vibration after doing my build. :(
Almost makes me want to go back to stock. I did say almost :lol:

flexx bars, shokout grips, i believe the houser stems are supposed to be a good setup.

get a set of rox anti vibe raisers. They work REALLY well. Absorb almost everything.

My buddy just got a set of rix risers for his yfz. He loves them and hates them. He loves the anti-vibe, but it makes it so high he had to get the lowest bars he could find and still had to get extended cables.
Which flex bars are those? (I'm curious on the height). Were you able to use stock cables with that setup? Wouldn't I have to get rid of the modquad stem/mount if I went that route?
After I got my stem, I had to get lower bars cause I ended up pulling out my throttle cable since it was too short. I ended up getting the Pro Taper Carmichael bend since they are only 77mm rise.

Everyone keeps saying flexx bars. I just think they are the ugliest thing out there!! But I guess if they work that well, that's all that counts.

If you go with the Flexx Bars Fasst Co also has anti-vibe bar inserts
I really like Spider A3 grips, I think they also help with vibration
you could do a +12 rod. Per PowderCoater (I believe) it's reduced a LOT of motor induced vibrations. :)

So if that fixes the vibration what keeps your arms from being pulled out of socket? ???

I have the 12 degree flex bars, and like them alot. If you want to get rid of the vibes then you will have to pony up and get the flex and rox raisers. With that setup I did not have to get any extended cables. I have SS brake lines, but thats it.
Thanks Preddy. I guess I'll put my stock stem back on and get some rox risers. See how that works out. Kinda sucks the stem I got is worthless. :mad:

Yea, I was kinda pissed when I got rid of my ROX setup for the antivibe stem.
id say get a good set of grips too... like spider or odi or pillowtops or something. im putting my pillow tops on today
I've got the spider A3. I love 'em! Tried the ODI. I liked 'em, but they seemed to give me more arm pump since they are larger diameter.
gotcha... the stock ones gave my hands blisters, so i went with scott ones cas they werent as rough, but they have NO padding at all... so i am putting my new pillow tops on today :thumbs:
I cant stand the A3's I always get blood blister from them. I had the SLT's and think they are the best thing since sliced bread!!
I tried the SLTs, but they got VERY slippery in the mud. Couldn't keep my hands on the grips. Kept sliding off. The A3s seem to have deep enough voids to channel the water and mud. Everyone is different though. Unfortunately, there isn't a grip that works the best in every condition for everyone.
I have on a Houser anti-vibe mount and it is rubber. Seems to work pretty good (only have about 5hrs on it).
Ok Preddy, I'm going to take your advice. My buddy has the rox risers on his '05 yfz450. He said he'll trade me for my modquad anti-vibe steering stem. (If his risers will fit on my raptor and my stem will fit on his yfz) Hopefully that will help out more than the stem did for me. It can't be any worse though since I really didn't notice any reduction in engine vibration with the stem.

You have to have a raiser kit to clear the rox antivibe raisers. I got the cheap Tusk kit from RM. Its a third of the cost of the ROX block raiser kit.
Thanks for the info! I'll get it ordered.
Preddy, is this the one you got from RM?

Either way you go make sure if you get 7/8" raiser or 1 1/8" raiser get both rox raiser and tusk raiser the same.
Kinda hard to follow I know. You smell what I'm cook'in...lol
Well that was clear as mud :lol:
I want to make sure it will raise it enough to clear the tank.
This is the only other one I can find:
http://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/productDetail.do?navType=type&navTitle=Control&webTypeId=241&webCatId=12&prodFamilyId=3154
But that one converts it to a 1 1/8" mount. That won't work since his risers use the 7/8" mount.
Steve sells a ton of these. I guess, I'll check his website and see if he has some listed.
If the rox rasiers are 7/8" to 1 1/8" then you'll be fine with that kit. 7/8" block raisers fitted to 7/8's to 1 1/8" rox anti vibe raisers to fast flex bars.
Steve sells a Rox block kit that is expensive as hell, I know Rox wants an arm and a leg for that kit.
Tested it out last weekend in the dunes. Works great! Didn't ride alot, but also didn't have any trouble with the vibration making my hands go numb. Thanks Preddy!
On a sad note.....was having a great time until we came up on a wreck that had just happened. Guy in a rhino got ejected. Wasn't wearing seat belt or helmet. Unfortunately resulted in a fatality. My 14 year old daughter was traumatized by what she saw. Took quite awhile to calm her down. I really feel bad for his family. I sincerely hope all of you wear your helmet. This was an unnecessary tragic event. :(
Hey dave, was that at Winchester? I also heard about a bad wreck.
Yes the +12 stroke will solve almost all your problems except:
1. empty wallet
2. Sore arms
3. a large target on your back because everyone wants to beat the big stroker motors
4. Poop in your pants when you see that 4' razor and you know there is no way in hell your going to stop and the only option is to hit the gas.
5. empty wallet
It was at Florence. South Jetty day use area.
You forgot #6......affording the divorce when the wife finds out how much I spent! :lol:

Glad to hear that the anti vibe mounts worked out for ya.
Thats too bad about your daughter seeing something like that. Just think that the one good thing to become of that is she will ALWAYS wear her helmet.
Very true. She's doing better now. I guarantee she will ALWAYS wear her helmet now that she's seen first-hand the gruesome and tragic results of what can happen without one.
Back on topic, if anyone doubts how much the Rox Risers reduce the vibration, I've found out first hand.....they work!!

If you still looking for more, fill the insides of your bars with sand and cap it off with some silicone.

sand-great idea preddy. I have lead shot in my FZ1's bars(still vibrates like mad), I will try sand in the rappy bars..they are junk anyways, I'll see if it works. :thumbs:
A smidge O.T..........
Have you tried crystal in there? :rofl: Just take some out if you need a hit in a pinch.
:lol:
The rox billet block risers are now $29.00
Instead of putting silicone in the ends of the bar you could purchase Fasst Co. antivibe bar inserts. They work great and run about $40

Man, I am really glad ROX came down on the price of the block raisers. When I was looking in to them they were something like 70 bucks!!!!! I spend a day researching block raisers and found a cheap alternative. I would have rather saved my day and spent 9 bucks for the ROX raisers, but oh well... 8)
