Default RE: Fat Bob vibration

I like the vibration I feel, and I don't feel anything unusual.

My two BMWs didn't vibrate that way, those wonderful bikes were so totally different than this in balance and sound and "feel."

My '72 Sportster vibrated more. . . and it should have!

Negative ghost rider! There should be no vibration at all!!!! Got my 2010 used back in March with 2600 miles on it. It now has 4600 and the vibration just started the other day! Its only in 6th gear and at all speeds. 1-5 gears its smooth as butter! Hmmmmmm!!!

Look at the Slim or Blackline; they won't vibrate until you hit about 70 mph.

if your gettin vibration in 5th and 6th gear you might wanna check out your wheel balancing. my fat bob has this vibration and tinny sound on decel in 3rd gear. almost like the heat shield is vibrating against the pipe. drives me nuts sometimes but i can live with it because i just love the whole harley thing. Your riding history and thats part of the whole harley experience.
