passenger pegs vibration
I have got a 2011 Road King. My wife was complaining about vibration in the stock floor boards. I replaced them with a set of stock Street Glide pegs which she likes better because now she can roll her foot forward or backwards on those long trips. She is still complaining about the vibration. Have talked to other RK owners and they say they don't have a vibration problems. It's time for the 1000 mile check up. Anybody got any ideas? Thanks

vibration
Never a stupid question ,sometimes just stupid answers. I just traded my 2009 ultra for a 2011 limited.My girlfriend has been complaining that the left passenger floor vibrates excessivly but nothing on the right side. My 2009 never did this. She is not a complainer so I take her word on this. I also notice that my tour pack vibrates a lot more than my 2009 ultra. I have the 103 motor, I am not sure what to think.

look at the rear isolators, behing the pivot block/passenger peg mounts. Make sure there is a tiny gap between the outside of the isolator and the chassis. It is possible for the entire driveline to shift rearward, making the metal rings in the isolator contact the chassis and directly translate engine vibration right where the passenger pegs mount. Not sure how to fix it in the new chassis, but the pre 09 just loosen the front motormount, shove or pry the driveline forward and then retighten the front mount. I just did this to a friends bike while doing the chassis alignment, afterwards vibration was damaticly reduced. On the right side, the isolator and chassis were worn down to bare metal at the contact point. Not necessarily the answer to your issue, but it is a possibility.
