My brother's got a 2023 Norden 901 and we've done a few desert runs out in Arizona. His dash and windshield start shaking like crazy once we hit washboard terrain. He's thinking about swapping the mounts but isn't sure what actually works long term. Anyone here reinforce the bracket or go aftermarket without messing up the GPS alignment?

Dash vibration on Norden motorcycles

I've heard that stock setup is notorious for shaking on the 2023 Norden.
I saw a guy who went with a Camel ADV kit.
It seems popular and gets a lot of positive reviews for long-term durability, especially for long-term use on washboard roads.
Installation looks a bit more involved since it replaces the entire tower, but it's a permanent fix.
You shouldn't also worry too much about the GPS alignment since most aftermarket setups are designed to keep the mount in the same general area as stock.

We reviewed some installation videos on the tower swap, and it appears to be a suitable solution for the vibration problem. We're still deciding whether to go for a full replacement or just reinforce the bracket. Keeping the GPS in its usual spot would be great, since my brother relies on it for desert navigation and doesn't want to move it. Did you notice if the Camel setup changes visibility or makes the front heavier? We hope to resolve this issue before our next ride in late September.I've heard that stock setup is notorious for shaking on the 2023 Norden.
