Nick,
I figured you might ask just that. As have I. And the only answer I can give you, I have no idea. Maybe it has nothing to do with being surflex, but just because it was a new stack with a used basket, or possibly some other reason that I have not thought of. I honestly have no clue. I am not that intelligent with motorcycles, and most of what I learn either comes from here or from trial and error. I tried many times, at different mileages; to get the qc mod to work, and every time I came up short. Either the stack was too big, or not big enough to keep it quiet. I changed out some of the plates with slimmer ones from the old barnett pack, and still no go. I got tired of dicking with it, and just gave up.
I was surfing the big forum a month or so ago, and another gentleman mentioned he was unable to get it to work with the surflex as well. At that point, I just figured that maybe there is something with the pack that kept it from working correctly. Do I have proof, absolutely not. The guy from the ms forum, tonered, had a theory about why it did not work, but it was just that, a guess. I do know that the barnett pack that came with my bike when I got it, was very easy to quiet down; with some help from Jack Davidson and a few of his used friction plates. Thanks again Jack!
Anyone else have a surflex pack and have tried this mod?
