Backrest vibration
08/18/08 at 16:44:03

I got a suzuki backrest and installed it. Took my daughter for a ride and she complained that the backrest vibrated badly and was hurting her back. I figured she as just whining which would be normal for her. Then I got to think the other day and while driving about 55 I reached ack to just feel the vibration. To my surprise it was vibrating pretty good. Anyone know if this is normal or have a fix for it?

If they are, consider putting in rubber washers around the fender bolts to absorb some of the vibration

For some reason it said to remove the rubber grommets from the fender. I will try putting the grommets back in thanks for your help Robertomoe

This is a hollow, five gallon cooler. It vibrates so bad it makes my back itch. I attached a 2-inch-thick piece of Nufoam and PRESTO! No more vibration. If the grommets don't cut it, you might consider a thicker or different pad.

Re: Backrest vibration Reply #6 - 08/18/08 at 22:11:21 When I was riding with my girl, I saw the rear fender on the Savage swinging from side to side as she pulled away. I had no idea it could vibrate that hard. Kinda explains the crack in the license playe.
