Title: i put drag bars and mirrors vibrate
Post by: cbcanada on July 05, 2012, 07:35:30 PM
i recently put drag bars (by bikemaster) on my bike

i have always had vibrating mirrors but before they used to start vibrating at 5000 rpm. now they are always vibrating and vibrating a lot.

i have the stock original flat mirrors

what are my options to stop the vibrating. i want to change mirrors. what are my options for stoping the vibration and something that looks good with the drag bars. maybe bar ends? but will they vibrate more?

Ditch the stock mirrors. I had troubles with vibes in mine too. I went to drag bars and installed a cheap set of eBay bar ends the had weights on them as well.

The mirrors I installed are these ones and I had no vibration issues at all -

I live in Australia. Search for them on your eBay and just look for the same type. There are a lot of sellers selling them.
