Vibrating mirrors

My '04 Roadster mirrors vibrate badly from 65mph on. Do aftermarket mirrors work better and if so, which brands??

I did this, the o rings work great.

Thanks so much. When the garage warms up next April, I'll try out the o-rings.

A lot of guys have the K1200 mirrors put on. They are a lot more expensive than o-rings but they work well and look nice.

Mirrors - is that what they are???? I thought they were just some fancy handlebar furniture until I did my own valve adjustment using the great tips from this board.

I have also put on the K mirros and they look great.

Also when the cylinders are out of sync the mirrors vibrate.

Release throttle while pulling in clutch.
Check mirror.
Not a cop.
Carry on.

Let me know if you need a mirror to replace the one you stripped. I have a spare that has a very light/slight abrasion mark on the back side from my wife knocking it over. If you need it, I'll send it to you.
