OK...I know I am gonna get crucified for this but I will ask anyway. I just came over from a Fatboy to a 2010 RG. The vibration while at an idle or traffic light is crazy. Is this normal for the touring bikes? It vibrates so much I can feel my fat bouncing LOL. I don't mind it, but just wanted to make sure it was normal

Now when your wife or gf tells you that she wants you to stop or slow down....you'll know why.

Absolutely, I too came from a 2007 fatboy to a 2010 roadking. It is very smooth going but yes , vibrates at idle. Got to love it.

Would I be out of place mentioning that parade mode can be disabled?
Or, does a RG even have parade mode?

I feel the same way about my '09 RG and my former '06 Street Glide. Yeah, the vibration is normal for a rubber mounted motor, and I don't mind it much, but it's still more than I would prefer.
