Only your touring models do this.
Rented a SG last June, I hate how it shook at a stop light, huge turn off.
My softail doesn't shake while idling nor when braking. If mine does, its from a warped rotor, or bent wheel.

I was just talking to friend of mine today about this.
For some reason I'm noticing it more this year.

What they all said. Normal. Locks it all together when the brakes applied. My girlfriend is always telling me to hold the brake when I stop. She loves the vibration.
