Vibration question
I purchased a 2010 Ultra classic two weeks ago and have just now had a chance to put a few miles on it. One thing I noticed this afternoon was that there is a vibration throughout the bike when I pull in the front brake lever, while sitting still with the engine idling. Let off the brake lever and it stops. Is this normal? It does have ABS brakes.

Yes, it is normal.
While stopped without applying the front brake, look closely at your front wheel.
You will see it moving (vibrating) ever so slightly back and forth (in time with the V-Twin engine).
Now apply the front brake while still watching the front wheel, and most of that movement is transferred back up through the forks to the handle bars where you feel it.
Every motorcycle is going to do this, some more than others.
Oh, and it has nothing to do with ABS Brakes

If your in doubt, you can always ask somebody in your dealers service department. They are not "all" liars, just most of them. There again, "That is normal".
