if I could have only 1 motorcycle the rest of my life, I'd want a carbed heritage. evo, or tc88. Don't much matter

 

If you took the shake out of a Road King, you'd have a lot of pi$$ed off bikers.

Besides, my teeth only rattle if I hold the brake and clutch at the same time.

 

Women like Harleys because they vibrate.

 

Almost a direct quote from my wife when she was pulled over by a motor unit! He was on a Kawi, and he noticed she had her endorsement, so he asked what she rode. She said a Harley, and he asked what was the deal with them. She said for her it was the vibration!

Those of you that don't feel the 'buzz' at speed, maybe that's because you have that continual buzz in your head from the wind? [sm=icon_rofl.gif]

 

I didn't say the buzz was bad or was really even annoying. That buzz is NOT intrusive. I only feel a slight buzz on the floorboards and very little on the handlebars. But, the buzz or vibe....whatever you want to call it....does exist. Ride a Rubbermounted and Softail back to back....and the difference can be felt.

 

Hey EVOrider Your right I'm sure there is a difference, But it has to be slight. I did not get to ride the Road King before I got the Heretage, But I new the driving I would do would be mostly around town and some short trips I could not have picked a better bike.Now if I retire and take more long trips may have to look into the Air ride. The Roadking Classic with a 96" B motor and Six speed would be Awsome.Ride Safe Tom

 

My dad picked up my 03 Heritage for me and dropped it off. I just got home after riding my 58 Pan. Jumped on that new Heritage and went about 2 miles and came back and said that ain't no Harley. Took awhile to get used to the Heritage and I still ride the Pan alot.
And I think it sucks my heritage doesn't shake. A good friend of mine rides an 06 Wide Glide and I always tell him sure wish mine would bounce and shake like his.Some times at the light I shake the bars back and forth and pretend. I like the Heritage alot but the pan has been with me since 1976so we know each other real good. And what is wrong with a little buzz?

 

i like the idle shake of my fxd looks cool!!!! then smooths right out when i

get moving

 

Nowhere in my statements did I say the buzz was wrong or even bad....I only stated that it does exist.

 

I get a buzz when I decelerate from about 80 down to about 75. When I ride @ 78 I feel it so I just go faster. It isn't a harley vibration but a high pitched buzz. I think mine is the counterbalancer decelerating. Dealer said it was normal, I believed him at the time. I later found out he is a lying SOB. Really the only complaint about my 03 Fatboy.
