vibration at 2000 rpm
Its been awhile since I last owned a bike, 8 years(2003 softail).
I recently bought an 2001 flht with 48,000 on it. I`ve been noticing a vibration mostly in the seat after cruising for 15-20 mins at 60 mph+.
The dealer is a month out for service, any idea`s? I can duplicate it sitting still once it starts vibrating,
Thanks for any advice.

welcome to the forums.
could be many things- at least you have narrowed in down to RPM related rather than chassis ( like wheels balance etc.).
could be a motor mount
any difference in neutral clutch in, clutch out ?
power seem smooth ?
any difference is rpm is raising or falling ?
oil pressure look the same when it is vibrating and when it is not ?
the more "observations" you can make the better suggestions you will get.
