Update on the ROPS thread.......

[valkyrie9901]

On my BX-25D I filled the lower part of the ROPS with foam. There was a very noticeable difference in noise coming through. Today I took the top part off and filled it. Will update when it sets in a few days. So far it is a plus to reduce the noise.........JB.

We'll need a tutorial on exactly how you did this ya know! Did you drill new holes? Did you go through existing ones...pray tell!

Did not need to drill any holes as the bar is open where the swivel joint is. Used the red foam and to do the top part I took the bar off and turned it upside down and filled it up. Took 2 cans......JB.

Nice idea JB. May try that one as well.

Can I assume from your forum name that your ride a Valkyrie? I have one and absolutely love it.

Phil, I just came up from digging up a 36" locust stump from the back and after the foam in the bar I can say that it really helped keeping the noise down. I had to give up riding a few years ago and did have a Cream and Yellow Standard and an Interstate trike. Hated to see them go but they were just sitting here..........JB.
