Vibration

My CB400 NC36 handlebars start to vibrate when I go faster than 60 MPH and over 6000 revs. It is annoying because it gives my hands a funny buzz after a long ride and also the mirrors shake so the image of my rear is fuzzy. Before Aaron nips in, yes I fitted the stainless steel bar weights that he suggests buying off ebay. 400 gram instead of 200 gram, it makes a difference at lower speed under 60 mph. And yes, handlebar bolts are tightened up. I did fit other mirrors: OEM Honda mirrors for the old CB400 / CB750, round on stalks. I remember that with the original mirrors the problem was similar.
Any suggestions?
Cheers, Mansie

Might possibly be to do with wheel balancing or having a small dent in the wheel.....

Mine also does the same thing....

Thanks for the reply. I had the wheels professionally respoked and rebalanced last year, with tyres on. Since then I've done some 500 kms. I could crank the bike up and spin the wheels around to see if there is something uneven.

high frequency vibration is often carb balance.

Makes sense. At one stage the headlight of a mate's bike looked like a doughnut in the mirror.
Any info on carb balancing? My friend has a carb balancer so I could ask him.
