Vibration reduction - Streamliner vs Airflow boards
I am looking to change from Streamliner floorboards boards to Airflow. I am looking for better vibration reduction. Can anyone comment if the Airflow reduce vibration better than the Streamliner. Thanks

On your '21 FLHXS? How bad are the vibs?
I have ridden with all of the HD ones I think now; Kahuna, of course Streamliner, Airflow, ***** G, etc. and honestly I do not think there is a lick of difference in any of the isolated inserts.
I have been curious about the CNC units like Thrashin' Supply, and others, but really my bike, and my friends with RGs don't have that bad of vibrations.
I am just wondering if possibly you have other issues (mechanical) like out of balance wheel/tire, a slight miss in the engine? Just want to know what it is you are experiencing at the feet...
The vibration is nothing unusual and is pretty normal. I just like zero vibration at my feet and while the Streamliners do well I heard the Airflows were better.
My 21 SGS is a 131 making 140/148 but I just rode a stock 114 the other day and they are very similar, maybe a bit more out of my 131.
Thanks

Okay. I too like zero vibration, and have none. I hope you figure it out.
The rubber isolation thingies on the underside of the inserts can tear and breakdown, letting the inset touch down on the main body under the weight of your leg. Are your perhaps having this problem?
