Default mirrors vibrating
don't have the problem with my bike. But my '97 F.250 side view mirrors vibrate so much that can't really see much at all. As a so-so mechanic, you can check the bolts, but in the end, it is what it is and it's just a bad set up for the mirrors. my best advice, you'll get use to it.

I may be guessing wrong but do you have the extended stems? If so "they all do that"
Sporty's are notorious mirror shakers.
