Default How do I make an 88B vibrate?

I have an 06 Springer Softail FXSTS. It has the 88B. Way too smooth for a Harley! I used to own a 2000 Wide Glide and she would rattle your teeth and shake your bones! Is there a way to make my bike vibrate like a Harley should? Like a rubber mounted 88? Any tips/advice appreciated. Thanks yall!

The lack of vibration is one of the main reasons I bought a Dyna over a Softail. Some people consider the balanced motor an advantage, but to me it just takes something out of it.

Remove the rear cylinder spark plug.
Fire it up and vibrate.

Take this out. But with a solid mounted engine make sure your dental stuff is all caught up
