Am afraid that they all do that.
An absolute elimination of vibs is not possible.
Still you can try new bar ends, new frame bolts and maybe new damper rubber for the alternator. That last one is the latest discovery, courtesy of our site too.

Thanks costas , the vibration is only on the foot pegs with no load on the transmission , and the clutch noise goes when I rev it a little harder when pulling away from a standstill . Im told they have upgraded the alternator cables for hot start problem apparently also make the motor run smoother, that must be the most cost effective tuning mod must try that on my wifes 307 hdi yeah right .

I had the clutch scream on pull away and mine turned out to be warped clutch plates. One of my many warranty jobs.

I'd stick with the plan of trying to ride another bike first before you do anything so you can get some idea of what another bike is like,admittedly mine isn't a GT and it isn't stock with a Rexxer map and an Akra's can and 98 fuel but blimey it sat on the Peage last week like a magic carpet not a vibe in either the pegs or bars.

But with 95 it wasn't great but only got grumpy over 80.

If that's your train of thought you need to bail out now if you thought you had bought a German version of a Japanese bike your mistaken.

As for what might go wrong next your a clutch behind me to start with

I knew it wasn't a jap bike , and im not in the habit of giving up I've had the same harley for 13 yrs , just frustrated that the dealer has had 4 attempts at fixing the same issues with no resolution to any of them.  :)

Take a peek at the member's map, that might give you a clue.

Where do I find the members map?

Its not always the destination that counts its the ride, having a destination just stops you going round in circles.
