Re: Introduction / windsheild vibration

[David Matz <matzd@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Eric,

	Are you saying your windsheild doesn't flex just a little?  When I
get up to about 60mph, the top edges do shake a little.  Therefore the
mirrors shake a little too.  It didn't seem that bad, and I could still
see objects in the mirrors clearly.  Then again my reference is my last
bike, a '97 Sportster, where the mirrors vibrated past 30mph to the point
of being practically worthless.

	Are your mirrors always rock solid? 


Thanks,

David
