hello friends, sorry for the English translation. I have a problem in a 2010 Fat Bob. When I place 6th speed begins to vibrate. This problem does not make it in 4th or 5th speed and SAME speed per hour. The wheels are new (tires). can be a problem in the gearbox?.
Thank you very much and greetings from Chile Fernand
What I'm getting at is I think you are lugging the motor. Try not using 6th gear until you are over 70MPH. Do you experience any vibration in 6th gear at 80mph? Better to shift later then earlier
There are two common problems that you need to check out:
1. steer head bushing adjustment (look up how to do the "fall away" test)
2. Front motor mount
If you do a search here on both you will get a lot of info and some pics

At first I thought lugging as well. But 75 it should smooth out for sure, without lugging being an issue. Now I'm real curious about the fall away test. Have to check that out. Good luck fernand.
