Do you know if the same one we get is good for bikes too? Is it possibly just a different dosage?
This is VERY important, cuz I'm getting mine TODAY and if it makes me sick, then it's best the "shakey" (AKA: "The WAVE") gets the shot at the same time and we can recover together.
Is there a Dr. in the house that can anser this?
Also, could it be the Avian Shakes/Waves?

RE: DONT take any advice from PhilM
I over heard the engineers at H-D talking about this very same problem. Appearently they have been putting serious thought into a recall on the motor mounts. It seems that a bad batch of spun polymar poly-viynal-proproline {sppvp} (sp?) has slipped out into production and they are getting hundreds of reports from dealers all over nation. Customers with all kinds of bikes are experiancing the exact same thing.
In the interium H-D has chosen to tell dealers that it is normal until they can find the cause of the sppvp going bad and then getting put into production.
Another inside souce said that its only happening when the engine is one at idle. And you should "never" allow the engine to idle more than 11 seconds at any given time since that will cause it to go into heat management quicker with all that shaking going on. Something about a heat barrier being set up in the resonant air wave outside the cylinders. Causing a lack of cooling and then all hell breaks loose.
I have always just got on push started mine and then went to WOT in all gears as quick as I could to keep anything like that from happening!
