Bought a Harley 2012 Dyna Street Bob with 5000 miles on it 5 days ago, this thing vibrates in the pedals and handlebars so bad that I do not look forward to getting on it, there is only what I can describe as a humming vibration in the handlebars when you lean into a turn, took it back to the place were I purchased it (45mins away), the guy took it for a ride and when he came back he pulled into the garage and I thought that's good, he knows whats going on, he loosed the belt a bit and took it for another ride and came back and said it's better than before have a nice day, on the way home I thought my teeth were gonna fall out, I'm so dam mad that I spent my money on what I thought was quality and I don;t even want to get on the dam thing, I'm almost thinking I should have stayed with my Suzuki Intruder.

 

Then sell it and go bad to your Yamazuki. Harleys vibrate, that's fact.
"They all do that" You're not going to get any sympathy here.

 

Vibrating motorcycle? This is pure corruption. Get a rope...

 

Not sure what your point is, did you bother to test ride it prior to buying? Sounds like you didn't and expected a Japanese bike out of a Harley, be glad it is a 2012 not an older one that vibrates twice as much and you would lose parts.

 

Did it vibrate when you test rode it? You test rode it.... right?

 

My Harley vibrates! Go back to your sewing machine and call me in the morning.

 

I test rode a Street Bob and know what they should feel like, I don't want sympathy, I just want to ride a bike when you look in the mirror you can tell if it's a car or bike behind you, I know Dynas vibrate, they usually smooth out after you get going, this is excessive vibration.

 

Check your engine mounts.

 

You bought somebody else's problem is what you did, bikes either been wrecked and redone or has a major mechanical issue like a twisted crank if the vibrations that bad. This or you need to start taking Be a Man Pills.

 

I think you should have started with that, I agree check your mounts starting with the front.
