primary chain vibration?
Ok Its been a long time guys, Ive done so much to my 84 softail its incredible. but Ive run into an odd vibration that is driving me INSANE , and also has me a half bit concerned. Few months ago, I did a new compensator spring, clutch springs, big fix kit (long rollers on hub) new aluminum pressure plate, new tranny output shaft seal, spacer and sprocket.. all the plates were perfect and only about 2 years old. after this work, I now get a vibration between 3000 and 4000 rmp, and its odd, its sometimes, its random and seems to occur mainly after I ride her, shut her down then start her back up . now the primary chain is original, yep, its seems shot and Im gonna replace it. but this vibration happens to also get worse when its getting hotter ,also if I pull the clutch in at 3500 and coast it goes away, rev the engine and I feel it , I also need to do a top end, and this could be it too..I may be over thingking this whole thing. in fact I am getting nuts....also I need torque specs on the lower motor mounts , Im wondering on this too....Im just overwhelmed with possibilities at this point..how bout this , anyone have any experience with a vibration in that range? throwem out there, ill check..thanks guys and gals
