Originally the stock mirrors had a thin rubber pad between the base and the faring to help with vibes.  It seems those have been lost over the years on used bikes.  If those pads are not there you could possibly create one yourself.  A bicycle inner tube would be about the right thickness.

Also to help further reduce vibes, use a rubber washer under the head of the bolt to isolate it from the bike and mirror.

Think these have the  lower mount rubber , but a bike tube would probably work better ,, I have some o rings ,should be able to use those on the bolts :scratch_one-s_head:
