Default New Vibrations

Recently installed the Stage I modification listed below and I havenoticed an increased vibration when stopped.
I am used to some vibration, but there is definitely more after adding the new pipes.

Any ideas on source/solution?

Check the rubber pieces that the muff bracket slides through under the saddlebags. Sometimes there is no give whatsoever and causes the bike to vibrate more.

Thanks Dawg.
That would be an easy fix.

Hey, leave my coffee alone.
My bike gets premium gas, and I get premium espresso.
We both go fast.
(of course that maybe why I have to pee!?!)
