88 TC Vibration

i came across a cherry 04 FLHT over the winter that was pure stock with no promblems. Since then i have added a set of older Screaming Eagle slip-ons, and recalibrated the carb. othere than that the motor is stock. My problem is now the bike vibrates the fairing bad at 1700-1800 rpms. Anything below is fine, and anything above that is fine. The bike runs extremly well without any issues at all other than this. What have i done to create this problem? Thanks

So if i pull the outer fairing off will i be able to see the inner fairing brackets? Or are you referring to the chrome bracket on the outside of the inner fairing?

Yep, pull the outer fairing. Do a search on here. Been lots of posts about the brackets failing. There's a better bracket available now, if that's the problem.

I would check to be sure all your motor mounts are tight,the ones on the heads too.

Brackets appear to be fine and the motor mounts tight. Could this be a tuning issue? Maybe be a conicedence, be it started about right after the time i put the pipes on and redone the carb?
