Vibration
On my 883 superlow when riding at 50mph and greater and at 3000rpm's or higher I get a lot ov vibration on the foot pegs and the handgrips. It differs from that good shake to the light but gentle tickle vibration if you will. Just curious if this is normal or am I doing something wrong.

This is normal, but unfortunate. Best solution is to search for ways to reduce your handlebar vibration. There's lots to ways to do it. Take your pick, if it doesn't work, try another. Good luck. I'll be working on that this winter as I tear my bike apart to accommodate the upcoming 'winter mods.'

It cut down my vibrations, just as promised.
They wouldn't be selling them if they didn't improve the ride. Just stands to reason.

I put polly body bushings on my truck once. They stayed on there one week. It was the worst roughest ride i've ever seen. You felt every little rough place in the road. They don't have any give in them to absorb vibration like rubber does.

If you have the factory service manual , do a critical fastener check .
On my bike , the front isolater bolt (large one down low in the front) had lost torque and caused some extra vibes that it didn't have before.
Double check the primary chain adjustment , and make sure someone didn't adjust the drive belt too tight.
All these will cause "more" vibration than you should normally have.

did the same thing on a 69 Camaro..the ride was terrible and the whole car rattled every time you got near a bump, they had to go...and I agree poly improves handling at the cost of comfort...
