RE: Mirror Vibration
Same problem. Gets better when you get above 70 or so. I noted the same thing when I first got my bike, and it seems to be a common thing with the Sporty. You get use to it. Welcome to the club.

RE: Mirror Vibration
Get some heavy vibration on the left mirror sometimes but no noise. Just grab the left grip a little tighter and it settles down - only do it when I wanna see what's in the mirror.

Well, Its my first SPorty, and friends told me to expect vibration like no other. Its hard to get used to, but I will. Love the bike, great get acceleration, feels good to ride.

RE: Mirror Vibration
Don't know the vintage of your Sporty.
When my mirrors vibrate, I just rev higher. Sounds counterintuitive, but they do smooth out. The bike is actually at its smoothest at 75-80 in 5th. But, I can still rev higher in lower gears and it will relax the mirrors.

RE: Mirror Vibration
Its a 2003 , 1200 Custom. They vibrate, almost all the time. But, this is actually a noise that goes with the vibration. They are tight, both left and right, but the right mirror itself makes noise at certain RPMs. Its annoying, and can be heard by people I ride with.
