unbelievable vibration in fairing
I've got an 07 SG, when rolling up and down through 1700-2100 rpm, the fairing vibrates like no other i've seen or ridden. took three other 07's out to compare and there was no vibration. Brought back to dealer, they did a warrantee issue on the front motor mount .......no change. Checked ALL mounting tabs under the fairing..nothing. Checked all other motor mounts, looked for nuts or bolts that might've fallen between.........nothing. Wondering if anyone else has this issue. The vibration is so bad, its skipping cd's. Thanks

I know you said the dealer checked the mounts but I'd have them double check to make sure the brackets are OK.

Remove the outter, have a look at the brackets.

You can easily check the fairing brackets without removing the outer fairing.
Hold the left grip with your right hand and push the fairing away from the grip with your right hand--there should be virtually zero movement. If the fairing moves noticeably, the bracket on that side is broken. Repeat on the right side.
If the bike travels freely, without vibration, I doubt that you have a tire or wheel problem.
