Vibration ??

I took the tour pak off and now while riding, I feel a vibration. I can't tell where it is coming from. Just feels like a rough road. I do have new Ohlins on so I am wondering since I pulled the tour pak off, maybe that could be the cause.

I would check the mounts for the tour pak if it started immediately after you removed the pak. Possible that one or both are a little loose and vibrating. Other than that I don’t know what to tell you.
