First off, never buy the "It's a Harley. They all do that." crap because they don't all do "that". If you don't like something, take it in for warranty work and keep bringing it back until it is fixed properly.
If the counter-balancer caused a whine, then people would have been noticing it since 1999 when the counter-balanced Softail engine was released.
New motors are supposed to be quieter from the previous motor due to stricter EPA noise regulations.
