I have 2 identical Hilltoppers, I put new Chinese 30 series Tavs on both.
They are street legal and get rode on the street at full speed, 35/40 mph.
Mine was fine ... my wifes had some vibration.
it was recomended that I get the comet TAV spray lube.
After applying it the vibration was still there.
I swapped some old parts bac in from the original Cat99 Tav, the vibration was gone but the Tav was back to being grabby witch is why I replaced them.
I did notice that the new Chinese Tavs came with what looks like the Comet lube already on them.
Rather than buy another Chinese Driver I bought a genuine Comet Driver, $69 delivered.
The vibration was gone. I would say its as smooth or smoother than the Chinese Tav on my bike.
Interesting note .. the Comet Tav did not have any of the Comet lube on it from the factory. I did put it on before using it.
Also the Chinese Tavs are a shiny whereas the Comet is a black-ish finish.
When its time to spend money on a Tav again I would likely buy a Comet.
