Chatter.....

No real way to do it. You could get a set of double helicals machined up. It would be quiet but very expensive. How about semi helical drops?

You could probably use a really heavy flywheel, like one off a 1300GT and that woulkd iron out the pulses and make it smoother.

Failing that, bung some earplugs in like the rest of us. smile
