I have not had to drill out the replacment isos that I have installed (2)

I am not a materials engineer but I wonder what the twisting forces do to the rubber metal bond / I also wonder what the heat does when the part is reamed / drilled?

YMMV.

I am running the drag specialties part which is listed for FX. It feels a little too stiff and I notice a difference in vibration below 3K. I replaced the part marked "BARRY" at about 19K and will probably replace this one before it fails with the improved part from American Sport Bike.

I have been wrenching on Harleys for 30 years but do not do it for a living. This is my first Buell. For those of you that know more than the rest of us novices, try to not be so condiscending.

I chuck the 79D from the bottom side where the molded in "T" bushing is exposed and use lots of coolant, no twist or heat.

Nice dumpster diving pic.

Thats cool Buellistic - know the feeling - 16207-79D cross references to this Buell part number though - L0501.2 - and that is the part that I'm running - if your hardware should be replaced with each isolator replacement (manual) and yours doesn't fit, perhaps you should try the Blasts hardware which does and has been upgraded in hardness.

Jr you put it in a collet? and spin the part?

coolant is a great idea I would have guessed that 1/16" was a little much meat for reaming.

I set my iso to be drilled on a piece of wood and stood on both sides (what can I say, I'm old school) then ran a drill through it all in about 4 seconds. It's more of a cleaning out the hole than a drilling. No twisting or heat.

Chucked in the lathe, drilled with a worn but sharp 1/2" bit and then reamed to size because of the high chance of it being made from mystery metal.

Ahhhh Mystery Metal!
I thought that using worn out drill bits (re-sharps) was a see-kret we had where I worked (Decades) Ago,

I hope that you are enjoying that S3
If I had the coin at the time!

BF, If I have to drill them out I'm with you, I might have to borrow that wood block
