The consensus seems to be that it is best to either ride slower or faster. Someone did suggest gel pads in the shoes for long trips.
Thanks to all who have responded.
All bikes have a certain RPM where vibration creates harmonics through the frame....obviously, some have very little, but most do have some. That sets up a kind of harmonic that gets amplified through the frame or the handlebar. My old XS 850 seemed to do it at about 60, and at a time when speed limits were lower (a long time ago
) the vibration would put my hands to sleep on the interstate. The most annoying thing about that old Yamaha....
I haven't really noticed this with the right footpeg on the Savage. Maybe it has to do with the Highway Hawk footpegs on mine. They are heavier than stock and that might dampen some of the vibration. Has your footpeg been damaged at all?
