You just need to ride an old iron head Sportster for a while. I rode one for 23 years, and then went to an EVO powered FXSTC. No more mirrors shaking so bad they are useless. My EVO is really pretty good to 80 as long as you don't get on it real hard. Then it will let you know it is running.

That's what I was kind of figured. Even though the phrase "they all do it" sounds like something a dealer tech would say. In this case, I'm happy to hear it.
