2007 Softail Vibration Question
For the owners of 2007 Softails. Any vibration issues at anyparticular speed? One opinion was that at 70 mph and above that a slight vibration begins and travels up to the handlebars. Anyone find this to be true?

I haven't noticed anything "unusual", hell its a V-Twin so even the "B" motors aregoing to vibrate some.
If I had wanted a completely vibration free bike I would have bought one powered by batteries and an electric motor.
Or one of these fun little monsters.

Mine has a slight buzz in the floorboards at 50 mph in 4th gear and60 mph in 5th gear. It seems to be RPM related, but since I don't have a tach I can only guess the RPM is about 2500 when this happens.

You might be thinking of the motor vibrating, almost feels like holding a sander.
Its not bad, buy good grips and you dont notice.
The b motor does not vibrate or shake at low rpms but the balancers lose their effectivness at higher rpms.
No concerns here.
