Default Vibration

I am getting some annoying vibration from the clutch and brake levers on my 1996 "Fatboy".
Levers are stock, and when I get up to cruising speed I am getting a vibration from the levers every once in a while, almost like they are chattering. It feeds back through the bars to my hands and arms and is annoying. Is there a fix for this? any info is appreciated.

I have just fitted new chrome levers to my 1990 bike. They have little springs in them to stop them rattling. Harley no longer makes them for evos, but Custom Chrome do. Unfortunately I only recently threw away the backing card, otherwise I could have told you the part number!
