mirror vibration

Agreed. I seen the thread title and kind of chuckled before I even opened it up to read the comments in here. Chances are that none of the mirrors being talked about here are vibrating like HD's used to.

Was it:
1 jack up motor so the weight is off
2 loosen the bolts on the front motor mount
3 check gap
4 insert washer or shims to take up the gap
5 retighten to factory spec ft lbs
Now is that put a floor jack under the motor with the bike standing straight up and down level? Just jack up enough to get some of the weight off. If this is the case i would think by jacking up the motor, of course there would be a gap if you loosened the motor mounts.

I put on a new motor mount and it cleared them right up and + the shims

Yep, my mirrors (stock) were always solid. Then I hit a deep rut at an intersection one night, pretty sure I went airborne. Next thing I knew, I had foot numbing vibration in my foot pegs, and I couldn't make out anything in my mirrors. My dealer replaced the front motor mount under warranty. Problem solved and been fine ever since, around 10k miles ago.

Not being a smarty pants, but is this you guys first motorcycle, or first bike with these type of mirrors? I have never had a mirror of this style not vibrate some from the pure fact that I am riding in wind at 70 mph.
If you had attached mirrors with a wind faring blocking the mirror such as some sports bikes or a car then I could see the concern for vibration, but with a post type mirror without protection from the wind. What do you expect?
