I can say from experience that you are correct.

That's where your fuses are, probably.

my wife also in not a fan of this bike. Anyone have a solution? Also, the stock seat is horrible for the passenger so I got a corbin. much better, but now the backrest is several inches shorter and less comfortable for a passenger. maybe her own bike is the solution.

Well, I had the kury ISO dually pegs which was better, boots a little better still but still not acceptable IMO. I was on a ride sans passenger luckily and one of the dually's fell off........folks behind thought someone dropped a camera - LOL I bought anther set but didn't get around to putting them on. Then I decided to try footboards so I took the dually's back to the dealer and had them order me FB brackets and found some touring FB's on craigs for $75 so now we'll see if these are any better or worse.

What he said ^...

My wife says it's a night and day change when I put the boards on for her. She's had surgery on her knee and ankle which caused her problems with the pegs. After the switch the issues were minimal, she still dis-likes the boards moving independantly from the seat (maybe be part of the vertigo???) but no more complaints of vibration.
