Don't know about vibration but the sissy bar looks good. So does losing the reflectors. As far as the badlander goes I have that on my bike and it puts my butt to sleep after about 45 mins. I'm getting ready to change it out for a Mustang.

the Sissy bar is from cycle visions, the side plates are the HD detachable. I plan on lowering the headlamp. Honestly just having a hard time spending the $100 for the RSD bracket lol. I do have a passenger sometimes, but she never ever leans back...

Not only does it look good IMO, I strap a backpack on mine for overnight trips.

To the OP, you bike looks great.
