Default '07 Low Rider Engine Vibration

My '07 Low Rider has a significant engine vibration between 2500 to 2800 RPM's in any gear at any speed. Feels just like a flat spot on the front tire, but it's definately the engine. I spoke to the dealer, and the factory, and have been told this is normal for this engine. Engine is very smooth cruising at 3000 RPM. Told by the facory these new 96 CI should be run between 2500 to 3500 RPM, nothing lower. Told 3000 RPM is PERFECT. What RPM's is normal cruising for your DYNA 96 CI???

I usually keep my rpm's between 2500 and 3000 and don't have this vibration on my 08 LowRider.

I run in 3500 most of the time, hardly ever go to 6th gear. Why?

Okay...Why do you cruise at 3500 RPM? Bike looks awesome! How do you like the Rush slip-ons? What have you done with the intake? Thanks!

Mine likes 2500 - 2800. Anything lower and it feels like it is starting to lug. I have an 07 lowrider as well and have not experianced this problem. Let me know what you find out.
