I love the K2 pipes I installed, but I have noticed some good and bad changes.
The bad: A new vibration at 60-70 mph that I never had before. Any Ideas on how to fix it?
The good: cruising at 85 feels like 70 and it's silky smooth.

Try a product called "Bar Snake" it installs inside your handlebars and works great at eliminating hand vibration!

Harmonics

Probaly just engine harmonics at a certain speed. Every engine has a place where it likes to run and a couple where it don't. When you change the intake or filter and rejet it may do it at a different speed or cut it out totaly. Of course it could get worse also. That's one of those try it and see deals. As long as the pipes are not hitting anywhere the vibration will probaly change when rejetted. When I had the Cobra's and Corbin Seat it nearly shook me off the bike at 57 to 60 MPH. Anything over or under it was smooth. GG :D

I just thought the vibration was the aftermath of an opened exhaust and intake. I too have this vibration more at some speed and less at cruisin. And when I idle it's a WOK-a-WOK-a-WOK LOL!

I'll be doing the Scar mod soon so I'll let you know what changes. The vibration doesn't bother me in the handlebars, it was the whole bike vibrating that I find annoying. It never did this with the stock pipes on.
