New tire causing vibration?
While cruising i can feel vibration in my feet through the footboards, the wife can also feel vibration on her back through the backrest. This winter dealer had specials on tires, i needed a new rear so i had one installed. They also had front end kits on special so i had that done also. Didn't get a chance to ride due to cold after getting it back. During winter i also installed a set of V&H dresser duals to compliment my rhinehart slip-ons. Last weekend was first chance to ride and now i have this vibration that wasn't there before. Any ideas? Sorry for long post but any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I would put some miles on but you may have a tire out of balance?

The buzzing type of vibration that Iclick speaks of is more the type that i am feeling. Need to go chore then i am oing to look into something touching the frame, or metal on metal. Road head and Captain Itch thanks for your replies also. I put about 250 miles on it over the weekend and it never seemed to get any better. My first guess was tire out of balance but i will investigate the tru duals area also. Thanks for the great info. Keep it coming.
