Default 05 Roadglide front end vibration

Does anyone have a problem with front end vibration on there 05 Roadglide. I took bike to ***'s HD and had them check it out. They put a new tire on the front & balanced it. It didn't vibrate for 200 miles then started again. But this time bike vibrates when you are up shifting or down shifting when the RPM"S are above a normal level. The fairing and winshield vibrate terrible. I have tightened every bolt and screw on the front end without any success. Could this be a clutch belt problem? Any suggestions.

First thing I would look at is the front motor mount.

I agree, sounds like motor mount, especially since it happens worse when shifting in high rpm range.

Good Luck!!!

Gilbo,

He PM'ed me and said it was his motor mount, it was so loose the nut was about to fall off the bolt. Luckily he was able to torque it back down and went for a scoot and all is good now.
