Windscreen vibration?
I notice since I installed the Brock's meg my windscreen vibrates at idle. I don't think I ever noticed any vibration on my 07. Anyone else notice vibration in the windscreen on the 2012?

Check your fairing stay bolts.

Yes...I noticed a slight bit of vibration after installing my Brock's system as well...along with the Flashed ecu.I think some(including myself) are forgetting that this new motor has been revised...timing and cam wise.It MAY not respond so well to certain mods because of that.Mine will vibrate a bit.I have an MRA spoiler screen on mine.At most rpms...it is VERY VERY smooth.

a LOT less mass to take up resonant vibration...just a physics thing.

if the fairing stay bolts are the ones down near the steering column those are nice and tight.

The 14R does have a lope at idle, even stock. With the aftermarket exhaust, this is more noticeable. You could fit a Gen 1 idle adjuster, and raise the idle a little....that will smooth things out considerdably.

Thanks Shane, I can live with it. I may see if Brock can do a quiet core in the CT Meg though. That exhaust barks!

I haven't noticed any excessive vibration with the screen, (Puig DB for now) or any serious idle lope with Brocks Street map and CT Duals. I do kind of wish I would have looked into the quiet kore cans about 10% of the time though. Sometimes I find the duals to be real mellow and other times I wish they were a bit quiter.
