Like I told you along time ago.....they all vibrate to some degree. At least maybe you have come to terms with it but I doubt it.

You're all just doing this **** on purpose right? Just to get me to chime in and call BULLSHIT right? LOL
This thread and others like it make me giggle!
Softails vibrate too, especially the Evo models and way worse than ANY Dyna ever built and you're gonna whine about a stock crank that has an allowable runout of .005 ? What next, you're going to have the windshield shimmed? LOL

Vibration gooooone.....
Well I loosened the flange under the muffler and wedged in a thick size washer and it is al gone. All I have to say is you guys rock on this forum. I now love my bike. I hope anyone else who has this problem can be cured as easy as mine was. Good luck

ok.. so since i dont feel like going thru 8 pages of BS to find the awnser. can somebody tell me how to fix this issue.. i didnt notice any vibrations untill yesterday on the way home from work...
if you power thru the RPM's its not noticeable. but if your being a baby and rolling into the rpms it is really noticable! 2850-3350 is where mine goes crazy... i was keeping my fingers crossed that my bike wouldnt catch the shakes but i lost out too..
PLEASE HELP!!!

swanny cant PM or e-mail you the information.. but there is a TSB on the problem which fixed my excessive vibrations TSB # M1324.
in my case they found my muffler bracket needed to be re-torqued..
in other cases some guys are putting a rubber shim or washer in between the lower muffler mount and the bracket and it is taking care of the problem
