Mirror Vibration

I just replaced the stock mirrors on my 09 America with the Triumph Teardrop Mirrors. They went on without any real problems but the left mirror vibrates so bad that I can barely use it. Is there anything I can do to reduce or stop the vibration in the mirror. I really like the look of them especially the wide field of view.

Not sure about the America, but my 09 Speedmaster has plugs in the bars to hold on the end caps. You can't slide anything into the bar. You'd have to get rid of those plugs to use the BarSnake and then figure out a different means to attaching end plugs.

FWIW, I've read somewhere that the Triumph mirrors do vibrate more than the stock round ones.

There is a liquid barsnake you could possibly pour in through the holes that are used for the wiring clips

Did you install the new tolerance rings and make sure the mirror stem is fully inserted? When I installed my new mirrors I had the same problem with one side. I removed the mirror and found the ring crushed. Also, make sure you use the plastic tool supplied.
