Noticed that on my new to me 2015 1200R the mirrors were blurring a lot after anything like 30mph and further up the scale on motorway etc. Its not wind turbulence as the vision stabilizes when clutch is pulled in at any speed. Put my foot on the cylinders today on way home and there was no vibration. Did the same on the engine bars and it's like a thousand bees buzzing! So I guess it needs tightening up, or dampeners added to crash bars. Suggestions please? Washers? any links?
 
I've discovered this on my 2010 GS as well. The crash bars are the issue.

I used a large cable tie on the right hand side to clamp it in place to the subframe (at the top). This has resolved the issue.

On my crash bars the right top connection to the engine just slots over a large bolt which holds the cockpit subframe in place.
