Brand new FXDB Street Bob today. Shakes worse than my old 1978 FXWG. Both my 07 sporty and recently sold 103 cu in Street Glide were a lot smoother - like you could see a bird on a fence post in the mirrors.
The new Street Bob you can tell if it's a Grayhound or a VW behind in the mirrors but thats about it. Vibs in the seat my Ol' lady would love but not good over 50 miles or so with me riding = monkey butt.
Any one had a similar prob?? What did you do about it?
Thanks

Search for adjusting the front motor mount, it requires some washers or shims of some sort, but I have a friend who did it and said it made a hell of a difference. Worth a shot and not to difficult.
I'm sure there will be plenty of suggestions, good luck

It's brand new. Asked dealership about it, they didn't have a clue - 1 good mechanic (very busy), 2) 14 year old boys and one new worker. Will take it back if I can't fix it but I got good hands & tools.
1000 miles is too long to wait. Would have ***** the size of grapefruits and roids strung out 50 feet behind the scoot. Got tools and a place, just never had to adjust a 96 cu in vibrator brfore.Will be on it this weekend. will post results. Keep the suggestions coming.
Blue, you got a different kind of monkey butt than me or some kick-*** salve. Nice pic, your's is faster than mine, but if it shook like this you'd have used the ejection seat cause it would be coming unflanged around you.
