Normal. Get a Softail if you don't like vibration. That's what they're for.

I thought the same thing on my 2007 Street Glide. Put glide-pro front motor mount and took out at least half of the vibration.

Harley Davidson & Vibrations just go together... like pea's & carrots. I prefer the Solid Mount Systems myself.
It is Part of what I Love about Harley's!!

My 07 SG shakes the crap out of me at idle but I've come to actually like it though. I'll have to try the front brake thing next time I'm out, thanks guys.
