BiggAudi Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 Just curious if anyone has insight into what kind of gear might help reduce vibrations, specifically in my bar end mirrors. I've got the CRG ones and love them, but everything is small in the distance because of the convex format and when they vibrate at higher speeds I really can't tell if there's a cop car behind me or not And if there is no solution because the bike just vibrates, then I'll just suck it up. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggAudi Posted May 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 My mirrors are connected to threaded bar ends. I had to fabricate a copper spacer to allow for some gap where the mirrors could attach. It feels rock solid and all, but that probably just allows for more shock to travel through the bar ends. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggAudi Posted May 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 I'll try to tighten them down more. I'm just apprehensive about over torquing things. I've broken enough items over the years from muscling things around that I'm paranoid about it. Sent from my Z958 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 (edited) Some mirrors vibrate, some don't. I replaced mine and... they vibrated. I put rubber washers and o-rings everywhere I could, and it worked. No vibration, and they actually stayed put. They look like they want to move around kinda squishy, but no problems at all. edit: Might also try two thin strips of cork or rubber under each mirror clamp. Even a rubber band might work there.

BiggAudi Posted June 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Ok, I finally understand now! I'll try to use the mirrors of the cars in the lanes around me! I'll get especially close to the semis, coz those mirrors are really big!! Sent from my Z958 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
