Default 2000 RPM Vibration

I just noticed that I have the exact same problem in my 2013 Road Glide 103. Does anyone have an update to what fixed the vibration around 2k RPM in either neutral and when driving and also both on acceleration and deceleration.


Thanks!

Accelerating . . . From 2000 rpm?
That vibration is the engine lugging.
Unless you're in 1st gear. They do shake rattle n' roll
til the mid-high 2's in the rpm range.
I like to shift above 3K rpm.

Thanks for the replies so far but please know that this thread is a spin off of another thread from someone else back in 2014. So there are no previous mentioned comments that you could go off of since the moderator restated this thread for me to get it noticed I think.

I am new to posting but not new to Harleys by no means. So I know all about that the shake rattle and rolls, so NO it isn't that or even close to that. It is a irregular bad internal feeling vibration around 2k rpm. It also happens when trying to troubleshoot it and revving the engine up to and past 2k rpm. It smooths out after 2k and isn't there before 1800 or 1900 rpms. It happens when driving in all gears. It also is smooth as butter down the highway. But when anytime you get around 2k rpm up or down it deeply vibrates hard.

This is what I am looking to fix because this isn't a normal shake rattle and roll from a Harley.

Thanks

Need more info!
Miles?
Mods?
Any guess would be good but I'd ask: does the front cyclinder vibtate a lot more than the rear cylinder?

If so, check front motor mount near oil filter. Happened to me
ans that mount was loose. Fixed my vib...
