First siginifcant ride today on new bike....Really love the thing and looking forward to many nice rides...Noticed a lot of squeaks and rattles coming from the body panels and fairing going over bumps...Normal??? Also, the right mirror real vibrates under acelleration but smooths out in 3 and 4 gears...Left mirror shakes also but not as bad..Don't remember this happening on my Kingpin Tour..Is this the norm also??? I will have dealer check this out on 500 mile service....Great bike and love the ride so far....Thanks 2011 Silver Vision Tour

I don't have the squeaks and rattles, or maybe have gotten used to them.

My right mirror shakes a bit. Left pretty solid.

The mirrors probably need to be tightened up after you've adjusted them where you want them. They should not vibrate. It's easy to do, or you can have your dealer show you how when you get the 500 mile service.

Unless you are one of those guys that can find fault everything then it's not normal at all. The trunk has had issues of a rattle (fixes posted here) but not much else. I would be taking the bike back to the dealer ASAP....and don't let them tell you it's normal.

There was a photo some place here where a guy stuck wheel weights to the back of his mirrors and no more vibration. He all so said never oil your mirrors.
Your mirror mounting bolts might be loose but there is no way to tighten them down.
Go to your dealer and ask him to check if the mounting bolts are tight it would only take ten minuets.

One time I found my mirror not installed correctly. It has a tab on it that goes into a slot on the bike. My left mirror was sitting on top of.....instead of inside the slot.

There are two bolts that hold each mirror in place. You have to remove them both to remove the mirror.
