RE: A few new mods....
Very nice looking bike. Have any of the mods you made help with damping vibration of the mirrors. If so which mod do you think helped the most. I installed 1" plastic bushings below and above the triple tree which helped some but didn't cure it completely

RE: A few new mods....
Hey Tim,
Actually I don't have any real problems with the mirrors vibrating. When I switched to apes suprisingly the mirror buzz lessesned ( I don't use riser bushings as I dont want flex on the taller bars which even some poly busing are prone to). My mirrors used to vibrate a little at certain rpms but since switching to the short stem round ones that little buzz is even less at any speed and I can see just fine. Now if I take my hand off the grip or the bike is sitting idling you can indeed see the vibration.
