Shaker floorboards FLH
Right then, I've fitted a new chain and sprockets to my '79 FLH to reduce vibration and aid in comfort on long hauls.
I am now running 24 front and 48 rear if I'm not mistaken, and that helps a lot with vibration around 60/70 mph.
The only place where it still feels annoyingly vibey is in the floorboards.
So, does anyone have experience with the shaker floorboards on a Shovelhead?
Noticable improvement or waste of money?

They work but the engine balance is a bit off
we have taken the handle bars and filled them with the tool rubber that you dip a plyers into for electrical use - as it iso some of the vibes
cork one end and fill put in the sunlight not to the end as it does expand some drying
