Bad vibration
Just developed a bad vibration up to 3000 rpm. Sat when I drove it home from the shop it was around 1500-2000 rpm. Drove it to work this morning seemed to be the same & on the way home it got worse. One way is about 20 miles. 1999 Ultra Classic w/95CI, 76000 miles. Just got done putting injectors & Engine Temp Sensor in it and shortly before that I did a stator, rotor & regulator in it (aprox 1000 miles ago). Feels like the engine is out of balance bad. Any ideas? I am going to pull the primary cover off sometime this week to see if anything came loose. Replaced the cam tensioners & bearings 26000 miles ago, so if I don't see anything on the primary side, I will check that. Thanks.

I have checked the mounts. It just feels more like something is coming apart, & more like the engine balance. & since it seems to be getting worse in such a short time. Will keep you all appraised of the situation.

Yes, even with the clutch in, moving & at a stand still. Has anyone reused the gaskets on the primary? Pulled it off tonight & everything looks good. Did find a socket between the engine & the frame, that may have been the vibration I was getting (hope).

Hopefully the socket was your problem.
