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. [:@]
Anyone... anyone... Buller, anyone?

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.

 

I'll try that, too! I have the same problem.

 

Same problem here as well. I am looking to buy smaller mirrors and was gonna see if that helped first.

 

Not to be picky or anything, but you have a typo in your signature.

 

is the problem with stock mirrors or aftermarket ones?

 

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.
