Default Mirror Vibration while Riding

So since putting on my t-bars with poly bushings my mirrors are pretty useless cause they vibrate so bad I can't see sh*t. Any simple solutions or is that just the way its gonna be now? Not the end of the world but didn't know if there was a little trick or fix.

Mine vibrate quite a bit. Quick goose of the throttle when I want to really see behind me and solved.

Doubt that helps, but it's how I deal with it.

You could try the vibra technics front motor mount, a lot of guys say they can see out of their mirrors better after the install. I put one on and can notice a difference in the grips but I still can't see out of my mirrors very well either. One of the downsides to a solid bar setup. If your going faster then everyone else you don't need the mirrors Chances are the boys already nailed you on your speed by the time they're behind you

Same with me. I've got a 2012 street bob with the integrated clamps on the riser--no bushing of any sort. Bars are stuff as ****.

Hi, I banged some 18 oz lead sinkers to my bar ends, vibes gone for the most. Works as a bar end weight but heavier and more effective. Cheap mod.

Mirrors on mine were useless above 2500 RPM. .drag bars, if that matters. Swapped motor mounts to Vibra-Technics and I can see clearly now, slight buzz, but I can make out the vehicle behind me at any RPM. I had tried everything you can think of before and nothing fixed.

I switched my hand controls and risers and made the switch from rubber bushings to poly bushings. The rubber ones are none sense.
