Vibration
Hey guys, just bought my first Harley. 2008 Cobalt Blue SE Dyna. I was expecting some vibration but at a standstill it seems to rock the handlebars about an inch(atleast). Cruising along at 60 (top speed for now) there is enough vibration still where there is a blur in the mirrors and my hands start to itch a bit after 20 minutes or so. Friends are saying its the motor 110cu. Am i crazy

Harley's vibrate, fact of life. As for the mirrors, I have yet to ride a motorcycle thats mirrors don't vibrate and blur at speed. As for your hands you're holding on too tight, relax.

Welcome to the Family. \\; H-Ds vibrate, more so than other bikes. \\; That's part of the charm and experience, you'll enventually \\;come to love it. \\; H-D puts mirrors on their bikes only because the Feds make them do it, not because you can actually use them

Give it a few thousand miles to break in and loosen up.
They do shake to a certain extent, but its much worse when the motor is new and tight.
