Well, as much as it may vibrate it can't be as bad as an early EVO softail. I would literally (occasionally) ride down the highway holding my bike together with the 1990 Heritage. That's where I learned the value of blue locktite.

70 mph and my mirrors are useless with vibration. I figure it's a Harley and it vibrates.

If the mount has sagged as per the photo above it will vibrate. Dynas should be virtually vibration free at anything above 2000rpm. If not there is a problem.

all Harleys vibrate its the nature of the beast. a neighbor of mine bought a 93 dyna last year hes been throwing money at it ever since. i swapped bikes with him on a ride after 30 miles he understood how smooth his bike was compared to a softail.
if you want a vibration free bike buy a honda

I think we need to have a contest of who's bike shakes the most in two classes. Rubber mount and rigid. I'll put my low rise bars back on for this contest.

Hey KP, did you try that Vibro-Technics front mount? Did it help? Did it hold up?
Thanks

Yup it's holding up great. I still have it and have no complaints. Its given it more stability straight line and cornering. It's also smooth over 2100 and below 1950. Just a little patch of vibes left.
