A mirror that doesn't rattle... was created by savedrider

I currently only run with one mirror (left side). I'm assuming it's the factory mirror, but it rattles really bad if I take my hand off the handlebar at certain rpms. I'm considering buying a new set of mirrors. Anyone have any they like that don't rattle?

Try these:http://www.klr650.com/MrVibIso.htm I've got a set on my 82 GPz1100 They really reduced the shake making rear views useable.

I have a set of those on my 650. They work pretty well. I have another set that I bought for my ZRX, but they didn't work on that. Must be different frequency vibration?

My issue isn't so much clarity due to the vibration, rather the actual audible noise produced at certain rpms. Sounds like the bike is about to fall apart!

My front brake lever does this on my 900 and I use my pinkey to keep it quiet in the vibration zone. I could tighten it but then I would break the bolt with my luck.
