R18 TC
Just traded my 21 Classic for a 23 TC. Loving it so far. Had to wait awhile to recieve it due to the stop sale. Picked it up about a week ago.

However; I'm having some serious vibration in the auxillary lights, primarily from bumps. This was not prevalent on the classic, but I realize the mounting is different with the fairing.

Is this normal? I get a little bit of vibration out is the fairing, most noticing on the dash and screen, but these things are vibrating all over the place like a disco show. Classic didn't do that.
 
On my TC they vibrate constantly but only enough to be (annoyingly) noticeable; not all over like a disco light 😊. It hasn't bothered me enough yet to investigate solutions.
 
Mine shake rattle and roll. I only notice it at night on signs. I am guessing it makes me more visible - I put yellow on mine too...
 
Maybe just get in where it is affix to the triple tree and try tightening everything down a bit? I remember when I installed my bracket and such on my model B for the Auxiliary Lights, I felt it was a little too loose, so I wrenches on it a bit more..
 
I took my R18 B down to the Jersey Shore in order to go fishing this morning; my point is, I got on the road around 4 a.m. and it gave me an opportunity to use the Auxiliary Lights.

I didn't notice the lights dancing around, and I asked my buddy who was in the vehicle ahead of me, and he said all was normal... NJ roads are pretty rotted up after the Winters...

Maybe a little more elbow grease on the Auxiliary Lights bracket assembly..
