Question Springs, shocks, stabilizers and mounts...Oh my!

I'm at a loss.

I have a 2008 Dyna Low Rider 105th Anniversary Edition. I love the bike for low speed cruising, hate it at speeds of 70mph and above. The vibration kills me.

So I've been trolling around the internet looking for some answers and I keep coming across the same suggestions, but never anything definitive. What works for one doesn't necessarily work for the other.

Here's what I've concluded. It seems that the best way to address the issue is to replace the fork springs, shocks, front and rear motor mounts, add a top stabilizer and in some cases as a fork stabilizer.

Edit: Tires have already been replaced and wheels have been balanced.

Am I going in the right direction?

Any input is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Why not just start with wheel balancing, go from there.

Had the local dealer do that 2 weeks ago.

Thanks for your reply.
