Mirror Vibration
Mirror Vibration
Anyone have ideas on how to deal with mirror vibration? Much of the time I have to drop the throttle and pull in the clutch to see what's behind me. [:@]

Vibration a problem with an 2007??? I thought they solved that in 2004. I have a 2000 XL1200C and it don't bother me much. But I will say I have jell filled fingerless gloves help, an I wear Skeeter boots with the thick, softsoles an I just bought a Mustang seat (only cause a cat thought my stock onewas a scratch pole RIP).

I'm just referring to mirror vibration. The bike's ride is fine, I don't feel any problems with vibration. It's just that while ridingI often can't see what's in the mirrors. Hell, cruising at 70mph is sweet.

$heet, now I'm embarrassed, got to learn to read. Mirror vs. Minor, I'll repeat that 10 times.
Tons of mirror choices out there, I bought a short, stocky stem with a high quality mirror, it helped a little. It also helps whenIsqueeze hard on the grips and pull my elbows in.

Next time you replace your grips stuff a roll of nickels, lead,piece of hvy. pipe orpretty much any weight (taped up and siliconed into each end) and your mirror vibes will settle down.

RE: Mirror Vibration
Used to have an 05 883R, no problems with mirror vibes. Maybe the different types of handlebars (or the extra engine inches)make a difference. Adding some weight at the bar ends should help.
