I've certainly not heard that, and I'm shootin' the **** with sales reps and service techs every week.

If it's true, part of the reason why we may not be hearing about it is that putting in a "fix" for vibration would include an admission that there is vibration in the Dyna motor mount system, and they flat deny that.

I sure hope not! I may be weird but a Harley is suppose to shake! If you find any information on that would you please let me know? I hope we can debunk that. I wonder if the different cams could have an effect on the shake?

Shake at idle is great! Yup, one of the things that makes a Harley a Harley!

Vibrating the fillings out of your teeth at 70 mph...not so much.

lol Yeah we need our teeth! .......I texted the sales rep I talked to the other day and asked if I heard correct about the 2016 wide glide having less shake than previous models and was told "yes I believe so, not like the softail but they are more stable" I am awaiting confirmation and explanation tomorrow.

It's dealer BS.

Update: Just talked to the sales rep. They were mistaking. It's just new rubber mounts they said. Nothing in the engine.
