Also, Honolulu police quit using HD tourings due to this.
Do you think there is anything to this? A lot of people claim it's the combination of how the engine is mounted and something in the rear suspension. I don't know if there's anything to it at all but there sure is a lot of noise about it.

Of course that's the reason. They cheaped out on the rubbermounts way back when the first Dyna frame came out. They then changed the FLH frame from three to two rubber mounts- cheaper, faster assembly and who cares what it does to the stability of the bike?
