Default Vibration
Has anyone experienced more vibration when they added pipes, like VH BR? I notice that my mirrors vibrate much more now, than when the bikehad stock pipes, is this common?

I like your new mirrors!! Good taste!! When I changed out my mirrors I noticed lots more vibe, especially at around 75-80. If I keep her within the limits its OK and don't notice it much anymore. Never rode with stock pipes so can't answer to that specifically. [sm=biker.gif]

It's totally normal. I experienced the same thing when I put pipes on my bike.

Never had stock pipes on mine. I do have the stock mirrors and have a good amount of vibration at certain RPM's. Dont have a tach but its just before shifting.
