Default Good Vibrations
With all the great weather these last few weeks in the northeast I have been able to get out and do some riding with a buddy who just picked up a 2010 Fat Boy. I never realized just how much vibration I get our of my 2004 Dyna Low Rider until I rode the Fat Boy. Both are FI bikes but wow what a difference... is it due to the age difference in machines?

Different bikes; Dynas vibrate (rubber mounted engine) and Softails are smoothe cruisers (counter-balanced) it's all about preference. Do a search on Softail vs. Dyna.
