Govno, apparently I am not enabled to send you a PM. Not sure why. I have allowed members to send me emails. Check my profile. If my email is not there use twowheels2013@outlook.com.
Sorry. Have to find out why I can't use the PM feature.

dyna vibrations?
I bought mine a month ago or so, and it's my first Harley, so here's that kind of a perspective:
When I started looking, I didn't know the differences between the sportster, dyna and softail models, so I read a ton of stuff here. I knew I didn't want a bigger bike like a road king, and I wanted something that handled well (which led me to the dynas). I wasn't interested in the fat bobs or low bobs or sponge bobs
style of bikes. It was either a super glide (and then add bags, wind screen, cast wheels) or the switchback. The Heritage Classic softtail also caught my eye, but not enough to 'switch' back...
If I hadn't found the cheap and effective fix to the vibration issue though, I'd be a lot unhappier with my bike. It fits me perfect, is big enough but not too big.

Are you aware of any success with Samson 2 into 2 street sweepers ? If I have to go aftermarket I am leaning toward black pipes.

After that if there is no contact I will decide what to do next. I am very anxious to get this resolved, either fixed (meaning no vibration and jiggly mirrors with blurred images) or returned to Harley. I spent all my extra cash buying this bike so I am not eager to buy my own after market system and then try to get reimbursed.
Again, thanks for your replies and sharing of information.

Oddly enough my dealer is listed as a Drag Specialties dealer - interesting. Did you put this system on to eliminate the vibration, or just because you liked it?
