Dyna handlebar vibes
I am looking for some suggestions on a problem. First i ride an 09 FXD. I bought it new and 3 years later it has 30k miles. I average 7-800 miles a month commuting to work. Two months ago i started getting avibration in my handlebars that would numb my hands after 20 minutes of interstate travel. I serviced the steering headbearings at 28k miles. It has a new front tire with less than a thousand miles on it.
At first i thought it was the engine mount. I replaced the engine mount. I still have hand numbing vibes. Yes i have a service manual, tools torque wrenches etc. I performed a vehicle alignment as shown in the SM. Still vibes. I discovered my front bearings were shot and had them replaced this week. Still have the vibes leading to numb hands. I have noticed my hands dont get numb in the morning predawn ride to work. It is the late afternoon ride home where i really feel it. Any useful suggestions of what to check next? Thanks! |
Could be the grips or coffee. My right arm gets numb when riding after my morning coffee and only from coffee. Goes away in about 3 hours

Thanks for the reply. I only have coffee in the morning. No problem then. I have old style vintage grips which is all i have used on the harleys i havenowned.

Poly bushings under risers might help.

Bar snake if it's still around
|
I have been contemplating poly bushings.
The bar snake if i can still find one. Maybe just a roll of nickels? Thanks! |
Try this, its pretty much free :)
