Mirror vibration Prevention?

(1/2) > >>

paulbaker1954:
Anyone any tips to help me see behind me above around 6k rpm

All I get is a blurry view of the world behind

I was thinking of some kind of vibration insulation below the mirror mounts but as they are screwed in to the bars not sure if that would help

How about rubber around the handlebar mounts ie under the idiot panel

deltarider:
It's normal for our bikes. When cruising I always choose rpm so that vibes just have disappeared. Engine happy, mirrors happy, me happy. You can cruise for hours on end at 6500-7000.

Bryanj:
Only way I know of to stop the vibration is don't start the engine

Spitfire:
Years ago (1970's) I bought some rubber mounts for my mirrors, they screw into the normal mirror mounting points and then you attach the mirrors, not perfect but better than standard. I took them off the bike when I was rebuilding it as they looked a bit tat but soon put them back on !!
There must be something more modern out there somewhere.

Cheers

It is for this reason that I have always taken mirrors off every bike I've owned.  Look over shoulder instead. :-)
