I put 12 Carlini apes on my bobber but I also replaced the riser bushings with alloy arts, I dont get any kind of vibration like you describe. I do however get vibration and rattle from my stock gas cap.

a center punch on the bottom lip does wonders for that.
These are the ones I use , They help with less vibration
Trying to get these installed on my 2022 Low Rider ST but it is not going smoothly.
The throttle side is no problem. On the clutch side, I have the large portion of the flange down as it is supposed to be and the Avon logo is at 12 o'clock. However even with the grip tight in the clam shell, and torqued to specs, I can still rotate the clutch grip approximately 1/8" forward and back. I have disassembled and reassembled numerous times, tried rotating the grip slightly either way before tightening and it seems to be in the correct spot. I also loosened the perch mounts to make sure nothing is binding and it is all lined up.
It appears to me that the plastic grip inner ridge may be slightly too large. It allows to the switch housing to almost close completely but it is keeping it ever so slightly open so that it cannot clamp down 100% and lock the clutch grip solidly in place. It just twists forward or back a small amount.

I installed those same grips and they did the same thing.
Ended up snugging the screws down till the housing tightened.
all good now.
