Floorboard Vibration
I don't recall having this much floorboard vibration with Bertha.
They have so much vibration, my feet are moving off of them.
Something ain't right. Guy at the dealership said the upper engine mounts may be loose. I'll check those later.
What else could be causing it? The passenger boards are the same.

TD you have to remember that Bertha was a rubber mount motor and transferred very little vibration to the frame.
Scarlet's motor on the other hand is mounted directly to the frame and transfers all the vibration.
Just mount some highway pegs and don't worry about it.

It's really kind of annoying though. My son and I did 100 miles on her today, and he agrees that the bike is sweet except for the annoying foot vibration.
I'm thinking some better suited riding boots might help too.
