vibration from 2500-2800 rpm
 
Guys is it normal to have vibration from 2500-2800rpm ??? It is very smooth in other rpm ranges but if I cruise in that range my hands go to sleep.... I drove my buddy's 2010 883 and his is super smooth through out the ranges.... sorry ya mine is a 2014 iron with 1200 conversion and SE slip ons....

I get a lot of vibration on my 2014 Forty Eight around 2700 to 2800 RPM that I didn't have on my 2007 XL1200r. Not sure if it is a 2014 trait or not. Have to take the bike in for the overdue 1000 mile service and will ask them about it. Annoying, but I shift around 3400 RPM between gears and try to avoid that RPM range. As stated, never had that vibration like that on the 2007.

Anyone else with a 2014 experiencing this? Dunno.

Yes, there is an RPM spot, where the bike seems to vibrate more than normal.
I would not worry, at all.

It smooths out with miles. At 5,000 it will be less, at 10,000 less yet and at 20,000 it will be real smooth.

All the more reason to go ride.

When I bought my Iron last summer it had a very distinct vibration between 55-60 MPH ( no tach but I think that's around 3200 rpm). Between breaking in and a bar change, I no longer notice it. It was so bad at first, that I couldn't use my mirrors. But now it seems to be completely gone.
