Hi.. If you've never ridden a rubber mounted engine before the "shaking" at idle can seem like a 7.0 at first. I have a 2003 Heritage which is counterbalanced and at idle it is very smooth, I also have a Street Glide and the difference while sitting still is amazing. When you get your glide up tp speed does it still seem to shake? If you turn the throttle in nuetral and rev it a little does it smooth out? If so.. I think you're OK and just need to get used to it..if not you may want it looked into...

 

Here is mine with a list of mods
Chrome Fork Sliders
Smoked turn signal covers
Airleon (sp) grips
Chrome switch covers
Stage II of those ebay muffs
Stage 1 SE Kit
Cut down ant
future mods
Chrome wheels
Floating rotors
95" kit

Okay, it's been a bit since I posted the first pic of the bike dismantled. Been home for a vacation since, and got some pics of the thing put back together:




I'll keep the rest smaller:

This is Phase One...still more to do!!

 

Desert...your bike looks AWESOME! Very nice job. What size Cee Bailey windshield is that? Mine should be here tomorrow and your height looks good. I hope I didn't go too tall at 13". How does it work?

 

Thanks! I've got the 9" Cee Bailey, but, at my 6' height it's just a tad short. The wind was hitting me right about the bridge of the nose and vibrating my sunglasses. So I'm planning on ordering the 12 or 13" SSC. I did a little ducking down, and it just takes a couple or three inches to put me in the smooth pocket. I think you'll be sitting pretty with the 13".

 

Thanks...just hope it doesn't look goofy Your bike looks so good I have to make a suggestion...take it or leave it...but you really should lose those reflectors! It would look so much more sinister without them

 

Oh, that's definitely coming. I just got lazy and didn't want to mess with them while on the vacation, wanted to go ride! I've got some other clean up the frame and wiring plans as well. Phase Two is about more body work, frame clean-up, rear fender and lighting adjustments, painting the tank console and inner fairing...and so on. Phase Three is the engine. I'm looking forward to it, now. Made the first big jump and it turned out right, so the nerves are settled.

Enjoy the ride.

 

OK--so Yes I did notice the shorter antenna--but it sure does not stand out!!!!!

 

Did the original seat leaves marks on the top of the rear fender??? I am waiting for my new SG and want to go with a solo seat as well. They also make a kit to remove
that rear grab bar which makes it look even better.
