Has anyone experienced mirror vibration on the Vision Tour, either right or left mirror, and how did you fix it? So far I took off the front aluminum fairing panel and tightened the nuts from behind however the problem still persists. The problem is so bad it is hard to see what is coming up from behind. This is on a bike with less than 1k miles on it.
I did not tried this myself.... i did find this in an other Forum,,for a vibration problem...
Not that it ruined my day riding, but the right mirror on my Vision would vibrate really bad 2000-3000 RPM, right at cruising speeds, smooth freeways and regular 2-laners. Now, I've had a chopper and both mirrors and handlebars vibrated to beat hell, with no possible fixes because of so much frame and engine vibration.
But I had an idea I used to employ to resolve vibration issues when I was an automobile manufacturer's technical rep, and I tried it on the mirror vibration problem on my Vision and it worked!
Vibration is harmonic, influenced by mass/density and frequency. Your goal, change one of the variables. The only option is to change the density.
I stopped by my local custom wheel dealer and mooched a strip of adhesive wheel balancing weight 3oz.
I cut in into 3 pieces, 1oz each. Removed the mirror, stuck the weights on the back of the mirror and reinstalled it.
I took it for a ride. No vibration at any speed. No interference in the mirror adjustment cause there's plenty of room behind the mirror.
The left mirror has never vibrated, but if it did, I am confident this would work there also. Give it a try if yours is vibrating. No harm, eh?
P.S.
Mirrors are accessed from behind. First lift off the brushed aluminum inspection panel (V shaped above the headlight) and pull it toward your face. Dont pull far, becuase the antenna is attached to the back of it.
Then you'll see the mirrors ara attached from behind. One by a screw 6mm Allen and the other is lower 10mm hex head bolt. When you remove them, don't let the mirror fall. I take out the 10mm first then use a 6mm allen to remove the mirror while holding it. At first, getting to the 10mm seems hard, but once you do it a few times, it's easy.
Hope this Helps
