I'm going to take that crank and shove it up your ***, and then you can see how out of true it is.

And that explains the purple bike! Say again what you want to do with my crank?

In all seriousness I still think it's the crank... but that's too much work for now if the bike runs fine. What else were you thinking?

I'm going to take it and shove it up your *** Timkens first, with no lube. Be sure to let me know if you feel any 2K RPM vibrations while that Georgia Giant on my foot gives it that last little bit of push.

I don't think the timing could cause that much vibration unless it's a combination of F/A and timing. Remember though, that if your crank is already out of whack, bad timing won't help it any. Harley's are not exactly quality motorcycles, and I don't care what anyone says because there is no proof to back up that they ARE well built, quality motorcycles unless we tear them apart and MAKE them well built, quality motorcycles. We ride them because it's what we want, it's what we like, we love the sound, and we deal with the quirks that come along with it. An out of true crank from the factory is ENTIRELY a possibility, so don't throw it out the window.
