If I have to, I will. For now, I'll let HD cover the cost of replacement.

Ordered a V&H tuner yesterday. If that doesn't get rid of the vibration, this bike is history. And I'm about through with Harleys.

Well, the bike is showroom condition, replace the front tire and bearing, replaced the front isolator, checked the top mount, engine alignment, took off the side covers and checked the tensioners and crank runout. Indy says, "Running lean, need a tuner". Tired of messing with it.

Yeah, if the engine is not running properly, then you need to tune that. I’m sure that it will not fix the vibration. But, if it was the tune that cause the vibration, then you should have notice the very very bad tune and not trying to troubleshoot everything else at the first place. Replace the bad hd motor mount with big bear chopper or similar. But yeah, I’m not a expert or something, nobody.
