Dynas vibrate at idle to provide adequate sensation to your dingle-dangle to achieve a physical reaction. The vibration subsides, but that reaction remains as you find and hold your cruizin' speed.

Congrats on the new ride.

It is true, the softails and touring models use a slightly different engine: it's internally balanced. The Dyna engine is not.

Just the Softail's are counterbalanced they are the "B" motors. Touring
and Dynas have the same "A" motor that are not counterbalanced.

Your wide glide is normal mine does the same, front wheel shakes alot until
you rev it up it dissapears.

Thank you. Tomccc (tomc64@att.net)

To me, the shaking at idle is what a Harley is supposed to do!! I wouldn't have it any other way!!

Vibration?
What vibration.
This is exactly the reason I wanted a Dyna.

Vibration is good. It makes your grimlin bells tingle.

Thanks

Thanks for your input. Interesting. I also agree the vibration at idle is cool. I am most sure all will be good. It was just a little bit of a surprise.
Thanks, again. Tom C
