Default Floor board vibration?
I have noticed when my bike gets up around 60 MPH I get some vibration on my floor boards. I noticed when I ride on the interstate at 80 MPH the vibration gets even worse. Is there any correction for this? I have a 07 SG with a 103 Stage II HD Kit, and Rinehart True Duals.

Thanks
Mark

If your slip-ons are binding on the rear hangars, it will cause vibration ....

I don't have a problem with some vibration, but when your on the interstate you getexcessive vibration. On very long rides I need to put my feet on the highway pegs just to get some feeling back. I would consider this excessive vibration.

How many miles on the bike? I have the exact same setup, and it defiantly had so me vibration at those speeds until I had about 300 0 miles on it. Its since smoothed out quite a bit. The IDS I put on helped as well.
