Default 09 flhx

HI Picked up a black FLHX last week. Love the handling But i have a severe vibration. Mostly in the foot boards. The dealer re aligned the front motor mount. It seems slightly better. Any oone have a comment.

I just picked up my 2009 FLHX Saturday. Traded my 2006 Heritage. I thought the bike was real smooth and only vibrated when sitting at lights. I rather enjoyed it!!!

so, here come the yearly prob's LOL. The 06's it was mostly bad primary bearing, the 07's it was the gear whining, the 08's the fly by wire and IDS debate. Thats not all, but i think the biggest things. Well, we gotta havesomething to grip about. Sorta like a soldier, If they ain't bitchin', they aint happy!!
