Vibration in bars
My roadking custom 04 has excessive vibration in the bars up to 60 mph.I got the bike used and the bars are not stock.
They have 1" areas for the grips and where they attach to the bike and the main part is 1 1/4".They are 36" wide.
Most of the vibration is in the left side.I can grip very tight and most of it goes away,making me think it is in the bars or the bar mounts.
Wouldn't shorter bars have less vibration?
I am 5'10 and need shorter bars anyway.The longer ones are difficult for me to control in a tight parking lot turn.
I like the wires in the bars.
Any suggestions,please.
Thanks
Jim

The bars are a place where you will notice bike vibration. It could be coming from a primary chain being too tight, the crank bearing being tight or wheel being out of balance. You can narrow down the what, by pulling in the clutch and seing if the vibration goes away.
Let us know after another test ride.
