Brocks Alienhead vibration
07/20/13 5:48 PM

Hey guys! I notice a buzzing/vibration like sound today. Narrowed it down to the end of my Brocks pipe. I'm thinking it could be the riveted brocks emblem vibrating against the pipe. If I push the emblem down it seems to lessen the sound. It's very slight sound. Barely noticeable. Is this what the problem is? Should I be concerned?
The emblem rivets doesn't feel loose but it is slightly raised off the pipe at the edges.
Thanks!

A good quality hand riveter is cheap and readily available. You can get new stainless rivets, probably 5mm or thereabouts and drill out the old rivets and re-vit the plate. The rivet nubs can be removed and the baffle re-packed at the same time.

Thanks Cblast! I rode 140 miles today and didn't hear the buzzing sound once so who knows. I was told that since the brocks pipe is held together by springs basically that it could shift around on me a tiny bit. Maybe thats what it was. I guess I'll wait and see if it happens again before I do anything.

Gotcha! Might be worth giving all the slip fits a waggle and re check header bolt torque.
