I think that these improperly torqued thrust adjusters are why some people experience vibrations and others don’t with the exact same bars on the exact same model bike. I also think it’s unfairly influencing the recommendations people give and receive in regards to crash bars vibration on the V Stroms. Why some people get vibrations no matter which bars they try—and others report no issues at all after they install them.
The difference was night and day. It’s maybe ~20% of the original vibration, and the range is smaller. The bike still hits a resonance at 5500 rpm; however, I don’t think you can completely remove all the vibrations from hanging off giant metal ears from an internal combustion engine. I doubt that you’d notice it unless you’d ridden the bike prior to the bars being installed. I’m going to try a little thicker rubber piece between the front brace, but I’m very content with the progress.
