RE: vibrations
Mine also vibrates a little more between 60-65 MPH...and then smoothes out when I get in the 70+ range. The aftermarket pipes definitely gave me a little more vibration at all speeds, but nothing annoying.

I noticed alot of vibration just in the pegs of my 2005 883 Sporty Custom at 70 and above unless I push the my boots hard against the pegs, but doing that makes it quite tolerable. Haven't had it up to 80 yet to see if it smooths out again, but do plan to test that. Sporties are more manueverable than the big twins but have to work at higher RPMs at those speeds hence the vibration and the way the engine is mounted.
Was doing some reading last night and am I correct that neither the Springers nor the Dyna's handle as well as the Sporties even?
