#420476 wilbur1861 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 99 Vibration 1 Year, 8 Months ago   I have a stock 07. my passenger complains about excessive vibration coming through the sissy bar at about 65mph. I don't feel it. I bought a new rear tire and had it balanced twice. too expensive to get a new passenger. Is this the nature of the beast? never had the problem on my harleys. Any ideas?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #420481 Greysnake (User) I'm so far behind I think I'm first. Platinum Boarder Posts: 10215 Re:Vibration 1 Year, 8 Months ago   Sure it's not coming from the foot pegs. The stock passenger seat and the rider seat for that matter sucks! Since you've done the tire thats the only thing I can think of. Of course I've not rode the back seat So I might be wrong,not the first time though   Logged     06 Midnight Silverado *nothing shines like a star*   The administrator has disabled public write access. #420556 Stick (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 870 Re:Vibration 1 Year, 8 Months ago   My passenger says the same thing about the backrest. I too would like to know if there is a fix for it.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #420560 River (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1839 Re:Vibration 1 Year, 8 Months ago   My '09 Roadstar vibrates at practically any speed. I can imagine what its like for a passenger. The bike is not nearly as smooth riding as my Honda Areo was. Its probably transmitting from the frame to the backrest and passenger floor boards both. I'd be interested in what others have to say about this, I'm too new to the Roadie to know anything.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #420569 Lucky1 (User) I kill bugs, with my face Platinum Boarder Posts: 1187 Re:Vibration 1 Year, 8 Months ago   If my wife was moaning about a vibration, I don't think it would be a complaint.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #420574 Stick (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 870 Re:Vibration 1 Year, 8 Months ago   Lucky1 wrote: If my wife was moaning about a vibration, I don't think it would be a complaint.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #420594 Lye (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 106 Re:Vibration 1 Year, 8 Months ago   my wife has also stated that there is a lot of vibrations in the back rest. Im going to guess that if one were to try and "fix it", they would need some rubber bushings to put in at the mounting points to reduce the vibration from the fender to the bar, but then it would only reduce it slightly if at all.   Logged     Keep the shiny side up!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #420624 B1gRed (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 99 Re:Vibration 1 Year, 8 Months ago   Just a thought. If you have installed new pipes lately, they may need to be adjusted. When I changed pipes I didn't tighten them in the proper way and experienced significant increase in vibration. I felt that through the entire bike though.   Logged     2009 Road Star Danny Gray Big Seat Rivco Risers   The administrator has disabled public write access. #420627 Questcap (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 4395 Re:Vibration 1 Year, 8 Months ago   DS, I am having the very same experience. A recent pipe change has brought on a lot of new vibration. I need to work on them, and get them better situated, so that there's less vibes going through the whole bike.   Logged     Sig Pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 kb   The administrator has disabled public write access. #420643 River (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1839 Re:Vibration 1 Year, 8 Months ago   Could it be the sound waves produced by the mufflers doing a lot of that? Might be a silly question.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
