Help! Vibration!
I’ve got a 2017 low rider all stock except bars and seat. I bought it new and it has always had some vibrations, it’s a Harley so I expect it. About 4K miles it started getting progressively worse. At highway speeds it has a decent enough buzz to put my hands to sleep, and at low speeds it is just plan unenjoyable. Can’t even fell the dyna wobble over the vibs. Took it to a shop and they said the mounts were wore and replaced them but it didn’t help it the least bit, told me it was the way it was supposed to be. On decel it shakes the bars so bad and under 3k it’s terrible but over it’s got a buzz. Only smooth about 90mph. Making me want an m8.
I think I’ll get new tires and see if it helps any they are cupped
Aftermarket motor mounts? It seems like some folks experience more vibration with them. If factory mounts I would suspect drivetrain alignment. There’s a few threads on alignment some have found success shimming the mounts but it seems like the shop that replaced the mounts should have done the alignment after installation.
Cupped tires, will always bounce down the road. Your bike will handle and feel much better with a set of new tires. You can never go wrong with a good set of Michelin Tires.

I told them to service it, they should have caught it when checking tread and pressure. So I assumed it was okay it’s not cupped terrible
