Default Vibration Issue Solved

I have a 00EGC with 31K on it, last Oct I noticed that when I went into turns or running down the highway leaning to change lanes the bike would vibrate more than normal, very noticable, straight up and down it was smooth. Long story short I took the advice of MP and Shovelhead Bob and did a complete vehicle alignment, adjusted both motor links and the problem is solved, the bike is as smooth as can be.

Thanks again for the input. Great forum we have here.

Did you do that yourself or have it done professionally, I would imagine some sophisticated gear is required?
