Combating Crash Bar Vibrations

Very helpful this is to an OM install issue🤔. Did you leave out the connector bars? The lower/upper connector tends to induce vibration on your Altrider bars when installed for many people

I’ve got a set of the OM lowers and engine bars on the way for mine. Will see if I notice any vibrations after install.

For the original poster, I don’t have direct experience yet but I would suggest possibly loosening thing up a little and realigning the bars. From watching the install video I think the clamping of the lower bars to the frame where they sandwich together and any of the clamp connections around the tubes are potential opportunities for a misalignment that might cause an issue. I would try to follow the order they go when tightening up the bars after everything is loosely assembled.
Full set with upper/lower connectors, no headlight guards

Just wanted to add a data point incase people try to see if this issue is brand specific or what have you
