This might shift the range of vibration to a different speed range, making it more difficult to notice. Just some food for thought.
Thanks for that, I'll go check out Viper. The other 107 guy has the ordinary S&S ignition system, while I have the IST, with anti-knock sensors and other stuff not on the ordinary one. I have heard elsewhere that IST has form with vibration!. Either mine is getting smoother, or I am getting used to it!
