Default Shifter Vibration

The heel and toe shifter levers on my 2009 Road King Classic seem to be vibrating more that usual. I've checked everything I can see and nothing is loose. Any ideas?

Thanks much.

I noticed the same thing.

Doing the 5k on my 14, so it's already on the lift. I just took my shifters off, removed the spline shaft, cleaned everything, added never seize to the splines, added LockTite to the pinch bolts and tightened everything back up.

Problem solved.
