RE: Very Upsetting
I wonder whether a lot of us just never considered it a "problem". My 05 has noticeable vibrations at different revs and defintely transmits more vibes through the bars, pegs and seat during decel.It is pretty smooth most of the time and my mirrors are essentially clear at freeway speed (stillfeel the engine, though). Frankly, I have always just figured that was the way it was and never thought anything about it. Personally, this is one of the things I enjoy about this bike vs. others I've owned and ridden - the engine is a very present part of the experience and has a character all it's own.

RE: Very Upsetting
PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!!!!! took the bike to another dealer had their service tech take the bike out on the road,(well to the end of the driveway) he could feel the problem with out even shifting out of 1st gear, when he came back he said that is definitely not supposed to be there at all! They had the bike for about 2hrs.to make the repairs to the mounts. I took the bike out for a test ride before I signed off on the paperwork and the vibration is completely gone (other than the normal HD vibration)

Also which dealer? It's good to know which ones know what they are doing.
Glad you got it taken care of.
