02' softail vibes
when i pull in my clutch vibes go away. Going down interstate at night is interesting. All the headlights in back of me look like circles in my mirrors. Any suggestions?

No matter how much the Motor Company tries to counter-balance or rubber-mount the engines, there is no way of eliminating the single crankpin V-Twin vibrations.
You can reduce them, but eventually you just have to call it quits at trying to fight them because it will drain your bank account before they're completely gone.
I don't even use my mirrors because they are useless at just about any speed.

Could be the inner primary bearing/race going bad or the mainshaft bearing going bad. BTW, you don't have to live with that.

My '02 Heritage doesn't vibrate like that at any speed. My '04 Springer doesn't even vibrate like that. Something is wrong. I'm pretty new to the softails myself, so I can't offer any constructive suggestions as to what it could be.

@ Dickey, I tried that once after a few libations and it made me dizzy. Kinda hard doing that riding in tight pack with my Brother's.
