Default excessive vibration
This is my first post so please a little patient. My 2009 flht has developed a huge vibration in the bars, seat and floor boards so the dealer changed the front tire but the vibrations just stayed the same. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I should ask the dealer to do for me. They said the motor mounts were all tight but could it be the mounts themself? Thanks !

Did it change from previously? Have you checked the fastening system on the bars? the mounts where they attach to the steering head.

Maybe it is starting to break in.Even the EPA bikes do some things like a real Harley.

You may want to check your front motor mount.
