Dyna new to me, question
I have a 2010 dyna wide glide. It has a 106 ci ss kit with a flash. Today was the first chance I have had to ride for any distance. I noticed that I have a vibration arund 55-60mph in 5th gear. I am used to touring bikes and a honda vtx 1800 which are smooth at these speeds/gear. It becomes smooth around 62 mph in 5th. Same in all the gears.
Is this vibration normal for the dyna's with the solid mount.
This bike will fly, almost a second faster than my gold wing at 60-80 mph roll on in 5th.

Mine's a 5-spd ...
... does it make a difference whether you're accelerating through 55-60 or if you're just loafing at that speed ...? Might consider just staying in 4th until you accelerate to 60, then shift to 5th ...
What cams are you running ...? If you have a 'lumpy' cam, it can cause some more vibes when accelerating from a lower RPM range (lugging it) ....
Good luck ...

Been riding hd's a long time. but went to touring several years ago,
Not sure the difference in gearing between my 07 ultra and the 10 wide glide
Might be right, that is what I'm trying to figure out
Oh well, I'll check the belt tomorrow
