I haven't seen this myself, but I heard of someone else complaining of the same issue and finally discovered that the mufflers were slid either in too much or out too much and the hanger bolts under the bags were at the limit of there adjusting or "sliding" area, causing the sliding hanger bolts to vibrate against the mount itself. I hope this helps.

Double check to make sure the mufflers are in the center position on the hanger. If it is too far forward or rearward you will have vibrations.
