    as the title says,
    my pm wobbles alot when i ride.. ive tightened it up all the way but the pipe still seems to vibrate and i can move it with my hand, would it be because ive only got 1 spring or do i need to put rubber bits inbetween the bracket and pipe or is this just normal?

    Not too sure if 59's have 1 or 2 springs. My 55 had 2.
    Yeah you might need some rubber "gromits" I think they're called?? Not too sure.
    But I wouldn't do it up too tight mate.
    Or you'll end joining me and Kieran...... Snappy snap snap.

    I bought mine direct from PM and had all the correct fitments and it didn't move an inch. Snapped after a year n a half, welded up fine though.

    Should be fine though as you have had a word with it :wtf:

    but back to the point, when terro gave it to me he said heres 'the spring' which i took to mean there was only one spring being used and my maloooosi pipe was only using one spring and it was fine.. would any one of you good sirs be kind enough to give me the adress of that cbs place in whitton or twickenham or take me there *cough typh70 cough*

    Spacers? Out of the 3 PM's i've had about the place none has spacers.

    It was mounted with only one spring when it was fitted to my mates bike and i don't think it was blowing. Saying that though i mount mine with 4 cut down springs. :rofl:

    its the springs... there too soft from pm.. use 2 tight springs and hope you havent deformed the stub sleeve as it will need cutting off and a new section putting back in.
