Default Is this normal

I have an 07 Fatboy with VH BR pipes, Screaming eagle air filter and fuelpac. I'm getting a lot vibration when I get on it, mirrors vibrate so much that I can't see out of them. I thought with the counter balanced engine I shouldn't experiece this. This is my first Harley.

Check and see if your pipes are binding or up against something on the mounts.

I thought with the fuelpak it doesn't need a dyno tune? How much does it cost for a dyno turn?

if it runs OK then you dont but only way to get it right on the money is get a Thundermax or have it dyno tuned. that dyno tune cost from 300 to 400 and then you need to find someone who does it right. The other choice is thunder max with autotune.
