Vibration
Had my 2000 Wide Glide serviced (oil,filter, plugs) and as soon as I left the shop I noticed significant vibration in each gear,,,,20mph in second, 30 mph in third, 40 mph in fourth and the worst between 45 - 50 in fifth.
Installed new motor mounts front and rear, checked belt tension and alignment......no improvement.
Any and all thoughts/suggestions greatly appreciated!!

start at the last time it was touched before this happened.
could be the plugs or the wires. if the wires stick, there is a tool for that but most will gorilla it, remember this is a carbon core wire and if you break it, miss fires are likely to happen. i would remove them and do a wiggle test with a vom.
as far as the plugs, most assume the plugs are gapped out the box, and mostly there will be no issues but every engine is diff, besides, what if the gorilla dropped the plug. i would pull them and check and also check conductivity of tip to shell, should not show any but if it does, not good and also the resistance as these are rf plugs.
