Vibration damper problem

[WOLFENSTEIN]

I am going to powder coat original rearsets on M696, they are down, but I have a problem with Vibration damper, how can I pull it out? Does anyone know how to do that?

Don't know if you actually can get them out

The aftermarket rearsets with rubber dampers (not many) come with them installed, not reused from stock rearsets.
My guess is that they do it like that because it is difficult/impossible to get the stock rubbers out.

Are you sure they won't survive powder coating?

you can pull them out.

getting them back in might be a bit interesting, just lube them up nice and see what happens

You need a shouldered pin and do it in a press, OR, you can cheat it, and just put a bolt, nut and a washer on each side that fits the OD of the opening... So it seals the powder out and keeps the rubber bits in shape..

YES, they will get VERY soft during the heat cycle, no, they wont melt, and when it cools, it should be fine...

Good luck

Thank you RetroSBK,

I did it like you said, and it is OK, rubber is well, parts are great and Bike looks better then before (at least I like it  ). Here some pics......

Looks much better ....good to know the rubber can handle the heat.
