A 2001 1200 cc. He is taking the class this weekend for his certification here in WA. Rode the bike home for him. I ride a 2007 Heritage Softail Classic. I heave never been so disappointed in a ride, tons of vibration, could not see the cars behind me in the mirrors. My question: Is this normal? If so, what can be done to remove some of the vibration. Bike smooths out nice at the 40-50 mph range.
Very normal, sportsters shake hard and vibrate. They're pretty much a slammed motorcycle, don't except a cushy ride.

Maybe I don't know what to expect, but my 2009 883 custom doesn't shake or vibrate that I can tell. Since the 2001 isn't rubber mounted that is more likely the issue.

I didn't notice it too much until I rode the Switchback. At idle it shakes and buzzes like normal, but once you start twisting the throttle it becomes smooth and stable.
