I use 43x3.5 viton orings on the pipe header flange. They make pipe installation difficult but really help tighten up the pipe flange. They also seal better.
Just to confirm I am speaking about vibrations that you feel. Not the pipe buzzing on the header. I have experienced that in the past as a side effect of the engine buzz. You know the one you feel coming up through the pegs and the bars. Its very very noticable right as it comes onto the pipe. I know they all vibe to a certain extent but it just feels a bit too much.

I know I'll have to pull the stator cover and check the flywheel and main for play at some point. Main question is though, how much would loosish pipe mounts transfer vibes to the bike.
