Default excessive vibes?

i dont usually post here, but here goes., anyone have what might be considered excess vibrations with there " 11 flhx " my ride seems (350 miles) to pick up road surface vibes and
and transmit it to tires, forks, to handle bars, dont really know if its engine/ or not, but i had a 07 SG that did not come close to this vibe i am feeling! I will throw this out to you.
the bike has nitrogen in tires (dealer) seems to make ride a bit "harder" also still have low windscreen.. (tubulance)? making these things combined feel like vibes? any thoughts are appreciated..later ryd

I'm sure you know the difference in the new frame in 09. I had a 07 FLHT STD & traded up to 11 FLTRX 103 My 07 was not as stiff in the rear shocks. IMO my new bike does not vibrate as much. Have a friend take it for a ride. Give yourself some saddle time & then re-think it.
