Bobble Head speedo cluster

[bill]

Hi I have made a bracket to limit the movement of the speedo cluster It seems to work well.

That's a very nice solution to be fair...

Another simple alternative that also prevents the speedo and headlight movement.

Thank you Aleksandar

Apart from the annoyance (even in broad daylight) of reflective  roadsigns 'flashing' as I ride past, it was consideration for the unlucky sod driving the car in front of me that led me to purchase Camel Adv's anti-bobble kit.  It duly arrived 3 days later (UK) and nicely made it is too. 

However, I am doing everything I can to lighten my bike and these are very solid and weigh in at nearly half a kilo! I would have thought something a bit less substantial or, perhaps, fabricated from aluminium would work just as well. I don't want to stuff some padding in there and don't have the skills or facilities of the above posters to fabricate my own.

I'm just wondering if anyone knows of a lighter alternative out there before I go ahead and fit these.

Looks to me like both the solutions above would be lighter (and presumably cheaper) than the CamAdv kit. Suggest messaging @bill and/or @Japi to see if they'd be willing to fabricate you one!

 

I might have a go at the @Japi version myself... 

 

Thanks for the inspiration guys!

Just wedge a couple of bits of rubber at the front of the cluster. I’ve done 2000 miles with this solution and it works great. Costs nothing and takes seconds to do.  I just cut two 30mm squares off a rubber mat.  Try it, nothing to lose.

The fun thing about this bike is its a completely open book, there are so many variables and you can virtually turn it into anything you want!

 

great bit of fabricating there buddy

Hi bill! Do you still like your anti bobble bracket system? Thanks
