This is a section of amazing road I discovered on my way back from the ocean! It is all new blacktop and runs like a roller coaster. (plus you avoid the traffic in Conway). Thanks to my Zumo for suggesting it, man I really love that thing. I must a have done 10 different routes for the run out to the ocean from my place but the zumo found two new ones, and by the far the best! To hijack my own post, what seems to be the best way to get the vibration out of the handlebars, almost got nailed by the cops because I couldn't see SWA behind me. And at low revs I feel sorry for my zumo.... I'm thinking filling the bars with shot and doing bar-ends,perhaps tuono mirrors....  | ||

Check the front engine mount. If the rubber is torn where the vertical mount bolt goes through it will cause unwarranted vibration. | ||

Ditto on Etennuly's comment. If your Uly is vibrating more than when you first got it, it could be the engine mount. Mine broke after only 1000 miles but I rode with it for another 1500 until I rode Etennuly's bike and realized something was definitely amiss. | ||

A too loose primary chain on my 12R contributed to a lot of annoying vibration. | ||

Good points, I guess you get used to it but now that I think about it I have never had a clear view in my mirrors at any rpm... Will check the motor mount! | ||

I used Bar Snake liquid and heavy bar end weights. Big difference | ||

Supertoon, I've got mine full of #9 lead shot and it makes no difference at all. Cost me about 25 bucks for a bag of that crap too and only used just a wee bit to fill those handlebars. There are holes you've got tape over if you decide to do it anyway. | ||

I put HVMP bar end weights on my Uly, and it makes a noticeable difference, especially when riding all day. Ditto on Orangejulius's ditto of Etennuly, though, because I don't think my bike's ever shaken to the extent you're describing. |
