You don't know the first thing whatsoever about a Dyna, or how to actually make one perform.

Go ahead and rock that '18; you'll jack it up as well...

Update... I took the bob into the dealer. One of the techs is a close friend of mine. He called after a bit and said he ordered a new front isolator. Along with that, he's replacing both of my throttle cables. Both cables were losing the black coating on their outsides as if they were rubbing but don't rub.

So I went back and picked it up and will take it back when the parts come in. That's the first time I've had to use warranty.

I put a new front isolator on last week and vib was worse! Put shims in and we'll see if that helps.

Had exactly the same problem on my '14 Super Glide Custom. Traded it in on my Road Glide. Problem fixed. j/k!

Update...

Took it back in today to have new frt. isolator installed. Problem solved! It still has the dyna buzz between 2200-2400 rpm but no longer rattles my boots. Decel vibration is totally gone too.

If there's a next time anytime soon, I'll update the front mount with a predator. For now I'm quite happy.

I just got back from the gym. The bike is definitely better. What used to rattle my boots on the pegs is now a mild buzz. Way better.

Change it out with a proper non hd motor mount. It will not only reduce the dreaded vibration, it will also improve handling and general wear and tear of the hd mounts. Thats on my next list. The part 2018 fat bob its too expensive for me...
