ok i am posting this here in hopes of some help. i just bought an 02 softail standard with a screaming eagle breather and harley pipes. dont know about any mods past these. i am a auto tech but this being my first HD im not sure if this is a real prob. It vibrates around 65-70> when i pull the clutch it goes away also there under a load but goes away on decel. i threw plugs at it since it had been sitting for @1yr. is this normal i have some iso grips to put on just wont sit still long enough. i am a newbie so please excuse any etiquitte goofs. thanks
three areas to check for your vibration. You might have a loose compensator or one or more engine mounts have gone south on you. Check your tires for balance and cupping in the tread.

Sounds like the usual HD harmonic vibration issue. Some riders change the final ratio to move the vibration out of your driving zone.
