Handlebar more shaky during idling after changing with SE ohlins

Hey, has anyone noticed their handlebars jiggling more at idle after swapping out the front suspension on their 2024+ Road Glide with SE Ohlins and installation kit? It's fine when I'm riding, but I'm a little worried my phone and Insta360 are gonna be bouncing around more up there on my stock handlebar. 😅

hm. really? cuz i ordered those and theyre on the way, but the triple tree kit is backordered, ugh.

could be just because something that weighs less is easier to vibrate.

I suspect could be the triple tree or the bushing causing the shaking to be more. I feel more comfortable and confident after the change during the ride.

If you upgraded the bushings to polyurethane or metal ones they’d “transfer” more vibrations - just the nature of the beast.
