Hey guys i got my exhaust back from hawk, i really like it, but it seems since the exhaust is gutted it vibrates more. is there anything i can do, particularly with the footpegs, about the vibs?

Been my experience any time you change performance type parts and you get vibes or? its time for some retuning of the fuel delivery.

Sound is vibration.

Noise translates (especially from a low-hung muffler to low-mounted footpegs) into vibrations.

There is also a chance your exhaust is not aligned properly from the installation...

Even before the exhaust, the bike vibrates, especially at lower RPM's. I guess my question was, does anyone make any pegs with rubber on them to help isolate the vibs?

Check your front upper engine isolator. The rubber webs can crack and let it ride solid.

Also I found that it is a good thing to oil the joints on the rest of the engine mounting hardware. Lots of heim joints that can lock up.
