Another Passenger Backrest Vibration Solution

[deacon1984]

I can't take credit for this. My brother-in-law came up with the idea.

The connection of the pipes to the same bracket that the passenger backrest is bolted to seems to cause a lot of the problem. To minimize this vibration, I used a longer bolt to hold the pipes to the bracket, and then inserted a spring onto the longer bolt. (The bolt was a 5/16-18 x 2inch). This allows the pipes to vibrate more freely than the thin OEM rubber gasket. There is about 1/4 inch for the pipes to move. Picture is attached.

My wife claims it made a big improvement in the vibration problem. I had also installed rubber washers on every connection between the pipes and the backrest.
