Default Bad Vibes????
Any idea what would make my bike shake running up thru the gears at about 2500/3000 rpm? (06 glide classic).. It shakes my glasses but i dont really feel it in the bars just thru the seat and the floor boards?? At the right speed its worse in 4th gear...If i really hammer it its fine but mildly running up it gets the shake? Doesnt seem bo be a wobble but a pronounced shake/vibration. I rode to work today and the wife rode with me and with her on the back i dont notice it?? Ill test some more on the home this evening..
Dave

Tires, Wheel bearings, Steering head bearings, motor mounts, bushings.???? Start with the tires and go from there.
