Street Glide front end shake
Excessive front end shake on my 08 Street Glide from 1800-2200 rpm under load. Fairing brackets solid. 28,000 miles, stock engine. What gives?

Steering head bearings or wheel bearings probably.

front end like forks? do a swing away test on the front end. that checks the steering neck bearings
front end like front of bike? check motor mounts.
wheel balanced and bearings good?
maybe describe more in depth what you are experiencing

Entire front end shakes from front axle throughout the fairing at said rpm range when starting off in first gear. Mirrors shake extremely bad. Normal slight shake @ idle. Smooth's out as desired speed is accelerated. Just noticed this issue last week. Thanks for your input

That sounds like motor mounts to me.
