Vibration-bent crank-?
04 roadking custom vibration shakes the bars, seat, mirrows,etc.Can feel it when touching the frame,tank,rear fender.Not unrideable,but no where near the smoothness of my buddies bike's.
Had a shop put scope on lower in and you can hear a slight knock at idle.
They are sure the bottom end needs replacing at the tune of about $3000.
Has 12,000 miles.
Does this sound like a crank/flywheel issue or what.
Need help in deciding what to do.
This is the second harley I have had issues with and my son in law has an issue with his 03 roadglide.Very discouraging.
Thanks
Jim

12000 seems low for a crank issue, but not impossible of course. Check your mounts.
Has there been motor work before? How hard do you run it? Has maintenance been kept up to date? I am assuming you bought it used. Just a few variables to help justify the crank. good luck and I hope it's only a mount.
