Floorboard Vibration

Still smiling with my purchase of a 2014 Street Glide. I had a Kawasaki Nomad and love the take off power that the Harley has. But a question I have is it normal for there to be a lot of vibration buzzing through my boots on the floorboards. At low RPM it is not as noticeable but anything over 3000 rpm in gears 1-5 it is a buzzin. Is this harley normal or is something out a little. Thanks.

I never noticed it at any rpm. Doesn't sound right, but then, I've never ridden a Kawasaki Nomad. Do they have counter-balancers?

My right hand foot board vibrates a lot - its annoying me!
the left hand is fine, going to ask the dealer to look at it when it goes in for the 1000 mile service...

Had a mechanic take it for a spin today to make sure I am not dreaming up the problem. Two guys tried it and said it appears the compensator is already going on the bike. Not thrilled but I guess even some Harley's are made on Fridays and Mondays. Bad thing is the shop is two weeks behind. Good thing there is warranty.

I had the right floor board on the vibrate excessively, found that the metal mount for rubber mount for the right exhaust was touching the frame\bag carrier.
