..................The solution came through in 2000 with the Twin Cam Softails: a balanced engine. Still mounted solidly in the frame it would give engine feedback to the rider
except that there wasn't any engine feedback to give, because there were no vibes.
In 2000 the arguments stopped. Well, they did for me, anyway.
In 2000 you could have a classic Harley chop shape that didn't vibrate, or a seventies Harley shape that had damped vibration at low revs and smoothed out when cruising."

The wife loves her SG and doesn't mind the vibration at all. I just wasn't sure of it and didn't want to take a chance on something being wrong and not have it fixed while under warranty. I'm just used to my smooth FB.
