Don't idle so much. Actually, I did the same thing and really never gave it a second thought. They are fine as long as the bike is not at idle.

Short of leaving your bike parked in the driveway, I don't think there's much you can do. If I want to see who/what's behind me, I'll pull in the clutch and let off the gas. I can normally see the flashing blue lights even with the vibrations.

Tighten the screws in the back of the mirrors a little bit. Still will be shakey (hey you ride a Dyna) but should get a little better.

ok, thanks. I just know that the stock mirrors did not vibrate at all and these seem like they want to vibrate right off, everything is tight. I just wanted to see if maybe I did something wrong, I guess not.
