eliminate vibration ,after new pipe install
if you have a black hole 2 into 1 or any other such check the clearance between the footpeg and the header pipe.
also in the case of the black hole check the back of the mounting point ,below the rear of the pass. footpeg bracket.(the long bracket that starts at the tranny mounting hole and goes all the way back to almost under the bags ).
if any of these are touching you will experience vibes.
to reduce or eliminate the vibes ,the bike had zero vibes when new ,and pre installation of the pipe,
i just installed footpeg extensions on the right (starboard ) side and extended the footpegs outwards by 3/4 of an inch
then i noticed that one of the bolts that attaches the longish mounting bracket to the pipe was in contact with the frame .not much room here ,and because of it it is impossible to mount the str8 product to this bike.
anyhow.i cut out the potruding nut and was able to keep it somewhat away from the frame ........i then road tested the bike and most of the vibes are gone........
hope this helps someone

RE: eliminate vibration ,after new pipe install
PIA, but I do like the sound.........
PS, my ride goes in for Dyno next week.........I'll post the results.....
Glad you eliminated your vibration......
PS, I have a minimal vibration feeling in my ride....about a 1 rating on a scale of 5. I think I'm feeling that from reading your theads about vibration problems..........[8D]
