Cool 2010 FXDC Vibration
Anybody else notice a "buzzing" type of vibration in the handlebars when at speed and leaned over into a curve? It's a feeling, not a noise.

Mine will do it in right or left hand curves. Bike is stable and handles great while this is happening.

Bike's got the new Michelins on it...I suspect the tire tread pattern is causing this buzzing feel in the bars.

Anybody else experience this on an oh-10?

Exclamation Polyurethane Bushings
Try changing your handlebar riser bushings to polyurethane that might help reduce some vibration

could be a break-in thing,but I would have it looked at by your local H-Dealer since it is brand new.

Could be, but I would also check the torque on your riser bushings.

Mine does that... like you said, "the buzz feeling, not the noise". I've always attributed it to the nipples/nubs on the sides of the front tire.

spokes out of true, or a tire is not balanced properly? Could be the michelins themselves.

It could very well be a failed motor mount. They are notorious for making a buzz that will run through the grips and/or the pegs.
