Looking at the new continental, what are the black strips for that sit vertically across the fins on the head ?
Cheers in advance.

bits or rubber to silence the noise

Oh ok, must admit not sure how they would do that, do they not restrict airflow over the fins though ?

not looked at the bullet , but they were std om MZs etc from the 70s , my little ts185 Suzuki has bits of rubber blocks to stop the ringing

Hi guys------- have a look at this Moto Guzzi Dealers site..it describes quite accurately what the rubber blocks are for}......... http://www.mgcycle.com/product_info.php ... ts_id=2506 -------------------- and this KZr forum has an explanation as well}--------- http://www.kzrider.com/forum/2-engine/2 ... gsdampners --------------- plus this little article may be of interest also}---- http://www.enginehistory.org/air-cooled ... rs_1.shtml -----

UCE's have beenn fitted with them since they were introduced nearly 5 years ago

Bertie, if you want to bling yourself up, they are available in the Accessory Catalogue!
