milwaukee 8 114 vibration issues
Just picked up the new 2018 fatboy 114 FLFBS with upgraded bars to 14 inch highball ape hangers and noticed the engine starts to vibrate over 2400 rpm resulting in almost zero visual into the mirrors.
Is this normal?

You could try another dealer and see what they say. Do you feel the vibes in the seat or feet also or only the bars?

Shouldnt be any vibrations at the mirrors from apes regardless of bushings. I have none with my 18s. Several different possible causes. A good dealer with decent mechanics should be able to figure it out.

Wondering if it might be a tuning issue, my dealer sold me a relatively new to the market Maximus 6 pin tuner to match with 2 into 2 big radius Vance & Hines pipes, do you think that a dyno tune could fix the issue.
Thanks in advance.
