Vibrating feet
I just got the new limited.
I put on highway pegs.
After riding today and getting of my bike, my body felt like crap.
I realized that my floorboards and highway pegs were vibrating like crazy.
Any one else have the same issue?
Thanks!

I get vibration, but nothing that isn't normal IMO. With HW pegs I can feel it more so then when using the floorboards. The boards increase the isolation with the rubber for a reason. My HW pegs don't have that. On long rides when using the HW pegs, I get a buzz in my legs and feel it after I get off. I rotate a lot between the the two positions because it is so hot. On the boards to cool legs, cutdown on air turbulence and then on the pegs to let more air plow to my upper body.

I seem to have more vibration than I expected. I don't remember my 07 UC having this much. I am just turning 1000 miles and if it doesn't improve I will take it back and let the dealer ride it and see what they think. (I kind of know what they might say).

Vibration sensitivity is very subjective. Without riding the bike no one can tell you if something is normal or not. A Harley V twin will never be as smooth as a goldwing boxer 6 but it shouldn't be severe enough to be uncomfortable especially on a touring bike.
