Default RE: bad vibrations

You should have no vibrations (duh!) But how long have you had the forward pegs on?? and at what speeds? You may be lugging the engine a bit. I get a slight vibration in 6th at 60 MPH, on my superglide, but none any noticeable. Other than that, thats about all the expertise I have on this subject without seeing and checking the bike to troubleshoot personaly. Good luck.

I'm sure when you checked the motor mounts you checked them all but if not, be sure to check the top one. That one got loose on me and created my vibration.
