Shaking
All, yesterday I notice my left side exhaust and left side saddle bag shake really bad at idle whereas the right side is rock solid. I cannot shake the left w/ my hands, but when the bike is idling it is obvious that one side is moving and the other is not. I plan on taking an indepth look when I get home from work, but what should I be on the lookout for? Any specific hangers or bolts that would cause this?
Also my tri-bar fender tip light buzzes at idle because of the shaking. Has anyone ever found a reliable way to make it stay tight? Thanks!

I have the same exact problem. I did not find any broken saddle bag rail, but what I did notice is that rear rubber exhaust pipe mount is very sloppy. I tried to tighten the two bolts holding it on but they would not budge. The rubber mount part number is 65724-85 for my 09 street glide its about $3.00. I did not spring for the part because I do not think it is the problem.
In my case the next items I might try is re-balance the wheels, and have them check the front wheel bearings.
{UPDATE} I bought the rubber exhaust mount, installed it and still have a vibration issue, i am leaning towards I might have flat spotted my rear tire when I skidded to a stop for a light. If that's the issue then the michelin tires might be too soft.
