mirror vibration

[sfcali86]

so i was just wondering if anybody has tried anything to reduce the vibration from the engine to the mirrors? i know it not my gear selection because i tried it already at different gears. so is there anything i can put in the mounting like foam or padding of some sort. its not a big issue but would be nice to look back and see better

Coming from an ex500, I don't notice much vibration with the FZ6. IS your Nighthawk much smoother the The FZ?

My 08FZ6(4kmiles) does vibrate the mirrors, at speed like 70+*, I see a light motorcycle following me looks like a car(2 lights).

*If i rev the engine( increasing the speed), it doesn't vibrate, but if i sit idle at 4-5k.rpm(speed at 75-80 cruising), it vibrates a lot.

I think fairing mounted mirrors will always vibrate more than handlebar mounted mirrors give the same type of engine is used. Plastic is just not as rigid as metal.

Vibration! A cure for bad vibrations, Spark Plug Caps!!

My bike has a fairly pronouned vibration from around 8k to 9.5k then smoothes out. In this range i cannot see anything out of my mirrors. Everywhere wlse in the rpm range is smooth and very little mirror vibration.

I should have elaborated but; mine was the same. Mirrors all blurry. Good chain lube and fixing the spark plug caps fixed it. --> Vibration! A cure for bad vibrations, Spark Plug Caps!!

You can clearly see from idle to 13.5K 0 - XXX mph.... It makes a difference and is completely worth your time to correct!

I'm guessing we have 28+ fixes out of 30 who said they pulled the caps and looked. Check it out!

may be i have to live with it, since, I have a camera mount on one side and 12v charger mount on the other side and filled pretty much the whole space/bar OR I need to purchase the clutch and brake levers with mirror holders..!

similar to these.

and i assume, i have to buy new mirrors too, I never saw how the OEM fairing mirrors look.
