Default Vibration
I have a 2005 custom sprotster, at my 1,500 mile check up they completed a screamin eagle upgrade.&nbsp\\; I did not notice as much then as i do now with 8,400 miles but I am getting a good vibration between 62 and 70.
&nbsp\\;
I have checked for any loose bolts and tire pressure...all are ok.
&nbsp\\;
What could I check next???

Mine starts to get less smooth at about 72mph and smooths out around 78mph.&nbsp\\; Did it before and after upgrades.&nbsp\\; I just drive through it when I can.
