Thanks for the suggestions guys
Not had the bike long and this was the first long trip I have done on it, hence noticing the hand deadening vibe. Was there before, but thought nothing of it as not used at such a constant speed before. Have just fitted a fabbri DB, but as said, I can't help thinking that because it vibes stationary, it probably stems from the engine. Is it possible to get new engine mounts, these must harden and go off with age.
Balanced the carbs tonight, they were all out, but not massively. Not ridden it yet, but on the stand vibes still there, maybe not so much though.
Will fit new spark plugs, there are iridium ones in, but I don't know how old they are. I took one out and it looked quite manky.
As its only 2 bolts, I could drop the whole fairing off to eliminate it as the cause.
