Are you guys talking about changing the front rubber mount just below the voltage regulator.
&nbsp\\;
If so, did you just use an exact Harley replacement?
&nbsp\\;
It looks okay, but I'm willing to give it a try.

I have the same thing on my 07 street glide. My vib is at 2700- 2900 rpm,with stock pipes and now with&nbsp\\;newly installed rush pipes. It has been that way since it was new, I now have about 6500 mi on.

Be prepared for a whole new set of vibs with the new mount.&nbsp\\; It's harder rubber, and frankly crap.&nbsp\\; I went searching through the trash for the old one, unfortunately couldn't find it.&nbsp\\; Everyone says it will get better, I hope so.&nbsp\\;

Changing the mount is cheaper than building a true crank .

Thanks Sean.

Your right, all I had to do is fold up the highway pegs and the vibration is gone.

Now what?

Is there a solution?
&nbsp\\;
Any ideas, anyone?
