Default Damn vibration
2008 ultra classic, I'm getting a vibration only under power. I've checked the motor mounts,just put a new clutch basket in. Everything is good, no noise just this vibration under power. Any clues ,,,

Check your foot board mounts against the front head pipe.
Any contact at all, however slight can cause that vibration.
