Anyone got any ideas / solutions .

I have a 06 Low Rider. The first time was caused by motor mount alignment. The second time was tuning. The third time an injector connector was intermittent.

RE: low rider vibration

Check your top vibration mount which is under the gas tank where it bolts onto the jugs. Mine was loose 1/2 a turn from the factory. But Dyna "A" motor vibration is the nature of the beast.

RE: low rider vibration

I went for a ride after the bike being stored for a couple of cold months.
The vibration in the pegs was really bad for the first 10 minutes or so.
It did seem to improve towards the end of my ride, still excessive however.
Iâ€™m hoping it was due to the rubber mounts being so cold for so long.
I have 8500 on my 07 SB still under warranty, so if it doesnâ€™t improve
Iâ€™ll take her in.

I practice safe riding, I have a rubber mounted motor.
