Had the same problem on a 2010 streetglide w/four point docking kit, the vibration was in the back rest on the tour pack--- used a thin sheet of rubber and made one wrap around the bushings before clicking on the tour pack === vibration gone

I tried the electrical tape and it didn't work, also tried a piece of plastic tubing and the back back rest is still vibrating. I am glad we are now on the same page. Maybe I will try the rubber tubing. It pisses me off if others are having the same problem, why can't Harley correct this problem?

on the rear bushing pins and the stock HD bushings on the front.
My wife today said there was a vibration back there but it was her first ride since last year so I really didn't pay her no mind.
I will call Harley Customer Service and see if they upgraded the Bushings on the docking kit, will let you know.
