Ahhhh, I've just ordered GOLD bar ends to go with my GOLD wheels, GOLD chain and GOLD sprockets.

Serious answer: it's probably just the front going light due the the windblast making your torso into a sail. Try lying flat on the tank.

Hi

What do you mean by vibration? What appears to be vibrating? Just the bars at high frequency, front wheel back and forwards, bars shaking a bit, etc?

All the best

Feels like its coming up from the tyre to the bars which makes me think even more it's a surface thing. It's all good.

Unless you are going to do 125mph very often , which I doubt, does it really matter?

test it by going everywhere at 125mph so you can see what other surfaces are like?

Or it could be just a typical kawasaki, falling to bits after 35 miles.

Just keep your front wheel off the ground above 100, that should sort it.

They are normally okay till you hit 100ish...........

After that rolls dice to see how quick you are going.........
