I have recently noticed an abnormal amount of fairing vibration at idle. The bike is idling at about 1000 rpms. As soon as I pick the throttle up the slightest the vibration all but goes away. I have seen a number of posts regarding broken fairing mounts, could this be my problem?
IVE BROKEN A FEW.. STAND IN FRONT OF THE MCY . HANDS ON ENDS OF FAIRING.. PULL FAIRING FRONT TO BACK.. SHOULD BE SOLID!
IF IT MOVES, BUT THE MCY DOESNT.. YUP....BROKEN MOUNTS..
EZ FIX WITH ALUMINUM L BRACKETS AND RIVETS.. ILL SEND U PIX IF U WANT.. PM ME .

fixed mine in 15 mins with a fab part a buddy makes and sells WITHOUT taking the guts out of the fairing (as you have to do with the full install with OEM parts).
that type of vibration = both mounts broke at top is my guess
