It may not be the headset,if the vibration is bad you should look at the engine mounts/silent blocks.

My Eibar S2 does suffer from headset vibrations at around 3-4k revs but clears once it gets into the power band, but I put that down to the Scootopia engine mounts. Simple solution is to keep it in the power band :twisted:
