Engine vibration ???
Have 2009 Electra Glide Classic 96 CI
I notice, barley/slightly, a vibration, around 2500/3000 rpms...
Just wondering if this is somewhat normal.
I notice it going thru the gears.... so I don't think it's the Primary or gears...
Like I said barely noticeable. So I;m thinking it a feature....
I have 1999 Softail Evo, and the Evo's definitely have a vib. at certain rpm, just a feature of those.
The EVO is much more noticeable than the TC.
So I was wondering if it was the same with the TC.

Check your engine mounts.
I've never noticed a vibration on my Electra Glide other than the shaking at idle.
I hear oil can destroy the lower front mount if you let the oil run on it when changing the filter.

I usually shift before 3000. Peak torque is around 2800. My bike does not "lug" unless I roll on at below 2000. FTR, I have over 100,000 miles on my motor and it still runs strong.

I would go through and check the basics:
- Condition of tires
- any cuts
- even wear
- pressures
- road tar on rims
- wheel bearings
- missing balance weights
- Oil levels
- motor mounts
- exhaust mount bolts tight
- handlebar mounts
- etc.
