My 99 ultra shakes real good at idle, never took much notice until one day setting at light next to a friends 05 classic, he could see the leo behind us in his mirrors, I couldn't. Took the scooter to dealer, had broken mount. After emptying the bank account to fix, all is well. She now only shakes when the motors running! I Like it the most when the front tire looks like its hopping off the road and cagers next to me at lights set there a gawk! :-)

A young couple (20's) pulled up next to me at a light. The guy in the passenger seat rolls down the window and says "your bike sure shakes a lot". I replied "yeah, chicks dig it". He just kinda stared but the little gal driving gave me a big smile.

To be honest, I'm not sitting stopped that often. And I've riden a softtail with the B motor and I found the vibration at cruising speed on that bike to be far more annoying. But yeah, my '07 shakes like a chihuahua when it's at idle.
