    Does anyone run rubber footpegs on their Lightning? I get a lot of vibration through the pegs only it seems. I can handle the grips but the pegs are going to drive me nuts on long rides. What have you guys tried?

    Wonder if 1125 pegs would swap to a xb, they are the only ones I know of that have rubber imbedded.

    They swap right over. Also traction pegs, like the grips exist but are very rare

    Their stuff is top notch Ive got a set on my XB9sx and some of their other misc parts between my bikes. They have always been great to purchase stuff from.

    Maybe I can add a bunch of layers of heat shrink to take the vibrations down a bit.

    Realistically a dynamic damper would be best, but you would need something around 2-4 lb per side(estimating rider between 150~250lb), and tuned to roughly 58hz to be optimized at cruising speed of around 3500rpm... Hmm maybe I should start using my work experience in my hobbies...
