Trying to diagnose a problem over the internet is hard enough. Giving next to zero info makes it pretty much impossible. A little background, please. Including what kind of bike, mileage, mods, tire condition, at what speeds/revs/gear you have the problem.

Might just be part of having a Harley. Mine vibrates too and it's normal.

There's a reason it's called a Milwaukee Vibrator.

Default few things

* Is this your first HD? Everyone of them do this
* Spell check and punctuation help
* If you have a shaker, not a vibration - DETAILS!! Are you moving, stopped, speed? when does it happen..

My bike viberates and shakes - if it didnt I'd be on my old BMW

Only one footboard vibrates? Loosen the other one,so it vibrates too.

My motor is rigidly mounted with no balancer shafts (it's an Evo). The footboards vibrate, the handlebars vibrate, the seat vibrates, and, depending on the engine RPM, so does everything else on the bike.

It's a Harley.
