Default Vibration

Guys, the vibration on my 05 Dyna seems to increase. When throttling back, the bike shudders throughout. Any hints on where to start looking to eliminate or fix this?

Thanks

When the front motor mount went on my bike it really pounded through the bars when I backed off the throttle.

the front motor mount is the most likely culprit, but check both

Could also be you front tire. Check for uneven wear or if it is the original (didn't tell us your miles) replace it.

Also check the freeplay on the front tire along with the head steering bolt
