Hi new to all this forum stuff,
A question on the old dyna vibration thing. Not long since I put a new front mount on and shimmed it as I've read .
now I've a feeling the rear mount is shot as well,out and about yesterday and it was like riding a jackhammer, looking underneath there seems to be a fair size gap at the bottom of the mount.
Not long since moved up from a old four speed Sportster,and that vibrated less,..is it me.?
Just a couple of pics of the mount. Looks to me it's sitting a bit low

This vibration;
While in neutral / while moving / or both.
Over entire RPM range / or not
Could still be the front mount if the rubber not trimmed back / away from the metal - did you?
=========
This vibration;
In your feet / in the handle bars / in your *** - or some combination
==========
This vibration;
Could be any of 9 dozen things..., or even a combination

And yeah..., dyna's vibrate - but in a good way (like a hot babe)..., when correctly running/ set up
Or..., like a pure D bitch - when not

Hi yer the vibes started seriously through my *** the other day, felt like riding on cobble stones, and looks like the rear mount has dropped. Don't get too bad vibration through bars/pegs, tho do get a grumbling sound through the tank!

A lot of us Dyna owners are tearing our hair out. I can eliminate a few things for you that mechanics have done (including the dealer) which didn't cure the problem:
1. It's not front tire
2. It's not wheel bearings
3. It's not motor mounts
4. It's not the top stabilizer
5. It's not the rear tire
6. It's not the kickstand
7. It's not the brake arm hitting the frame
8. It's not the exhaust
9. It's not a loose bolt
10. It's not the new moon
Forget trying to cure it. You can't. See a psychiatrist and get meds. Glad to help.

well looks like life with a dyna is gonna do my head in,and I'll find a few more for the list cheers...
Most likely, either you poured Espresso in the gas tank, or those cheap Chinese main bearings are disintegrating, which costs a bazillion Samoleans to fix, so I'd dump it on some poor soul who doesn't know what's normal and get another bike.
