Default Vibration
Had my 2000 Wide Glide serviced (oil, filter, plugs) and as soon as I left the shop I felt significant vibration in each gear...20mph in second, 30mph in third, 40mph in fourth and the worst is between 45 - 50 in fifth. Installed new motor mounts front and rear , checked belt tension and alignment....no improvement.
Any and all thoughts/suggestions greatly appreciated !

Did you do the engine alignment as specified in the H-D Service manual?

Check engine mount bracket & Stabilizer Link also.
