Re: new to list- w/ questions



I have experienced vibration in the grips. I had an 1100 mile trip to
Arkansas this weekend. This was my only complaint. (other than the fact I
need to be in better shape).I Installed the Triumph bag before  I left. Its
big but very fuctional.I really like the intregal rain cover. (used it four
times this weekend)I do wish the mounting pad was easier to remove. I
received the throttlemeister and the tinted taller screen after i returned
home. I will try to install this week. The fuel guage seemed to work good
although I filled up at every stop of my riding partner(Honda VTR). Anyone
else with vibration in the grips?

On another note south of Eureka Springs picks up Arkansas 16. An incredible
road. Lots of curves and very little traffic.
