ATROX88: Your seizure comment is totally out of line AH! HOw would you feel if you or your kid had seizures. My son started having seizures out of the blue @ 29 y/o.
Wow... lighten up Jimmy. Atrox didn't mean any harm... he's a Marine. Sheesh. Anyway, I have a 2004 Ultra... smooth as silk. It's either the motor mounts, or you were right... it's just you.
I doubt if its the seat. My money is on the motor mounts. I think I read somewhere here that you could visually tell if the front mount was bad. Seems like it gets crushed and leaves metal to metal contact. Search motor mounts, its been discussed before.
