RE: Please help.....vibration????
Hey wnogood,
Are you running true duals by chance?
I just installed V&H Tru Duals, and Oval slipons, this week and now I have the exact same vibration issue. I will try moving my mufflers out a little, but they seem to be in the right place. I thought it was in my head, but rode for 100 miles today and it is vibrating more and at a different frequency, it is annoying. Sorry I couldn't be any help here, but maybe the same symptom, the same cause.

No, I wish it was that easy. The vibration was gradual at first almost like "Did I feel something just then?" but has gotten much worse. The dealer has had the primary apart ( several times ) and I had an indy shop install the cams and dyno tune. Through all of this....just gradually worse and worse.

That was me mentioning cams........waaaaaay back in 1974 I added an Andrews EV46 (I think...might have been a 26) to my Dyna Low Rider. It was fast, but it vibrated like a sumbitch, especially at mid-range rpms, and I was more than a little sorry I added the cam because I liked the smoother running of the stock engine. I figure the cams might be giving a harmonic vibration especially noticeable at a specific rpm range..........just a guess.

Not altogether a bad guess. I somehow doubted the possibility considering the fact that the vibration already existed, but it is in the realm. I did notice another clue....the engine almost seems to run a little rough, or maybe skip when you rev it in neutral to 2600 or so trying to detect the vibration. It is really smooth up to 2600 and then it might start to "Flutter" a bit between as you accellerate up through the vibration range. Hmmmmm.......

Just for the helluvit....
Would it be possible to pull the V&H duals and reinstall the factory headpipes with your current slip-ons.... just as a test? That would be a whole bunch quicker & easier than dick'n wiht the cams. It may seem like a bit of a swag, but it seems (from afar) that the pipes would have a higher likelihood of causing it than the cams.
Just a thought....
