Hey guys new to the forum. I bought a 2014 street Bob a few years ago. Was almost new when I bought it. It has around 16000km on it. New tires and full service this spring. I had a bit of a wobble on high speed left hand turns so they went through the whole front end and head set.. nothing I'm figuring tires were the culprit. And the new tires fixed it. Anyways few days ago bout 40 km from home on a 300km ride noticed a bit of a vibration. But went away. Got to destination. Turned around bout have way home it came back and wouldn't go away. Started messing with things on the road.. pulling the clutch in and rolling at an idle.. nothing... rev the motor. There it is. And not just through the "normal" dyna vibration range. But as soon as I hit the gas it's there and just get faster through the whole range.
So first thought was motor mount. So picked a new one today. Put it in... the old one looked pretty beat up. Fired it up... still shakes from idle to full throttle... guys at the shop are great but they are busy for a few days and I've got only a few days off a month and wanna take advantage.. any ideas would be great. Thanks in advance.

From another thread: "The high freq vibration you feel is the product of HD's EPA compliant tuning of the engine. It creates this vibration on 75% of the bikes, usually during closed loop operation in cruise, when the 02 sensors come into play. The tune tries to "best lean" the ECM algorithm at cruise. On touring and dyna platforms the vibration usually comes thru the right foot peg / floorboard and on softails usually thru the handlebar at the right grip. It goes away with performance tuning the bike, but it's certainly not hurting anything except your senses."
Do like I did. Get a Victory and leave the Dyna parked with the key in it.

If tis is the case it's a ready made vibration problem,it either needs shaving down,as in S.B 1324(need to check that number,i've not looked it it in a long time)or have the dealer replace it with 1 that has the correct clearance.
Hope this helps
I have no idea what planet Huggerbugger's on,but a Victory ?,if you want no dealer/manufacturer support,yeah buy a Victory.
