Sticky Bearing issue/feeling....
So wierd you posted this. I had a SERT installed a few weeks back on my 09 Glide.
When accelerating from the 3200 range into 3500.....3600 I feel something now in my feet that I never felt before.
I dont really know what a sticky bearing feels like BUT the first thing I thought of was some kind of bearing (SOMEPLACE) in the engine was starting to gaul itself....
It only lasts a quick 10 seconds (if that) when I'm pulling power in that range and then it goes away. It bothers me so much I was thinking about sending an oil sample out at my next change in about 1000 miles to see if they pick up anything.....
I hope it's nothing....but I do feel something going on....

I am not sure about the "sticky bearing feeling" but I have noticed a weird vibration right at 3000 - 3200 RPM when the bike is moderately pulling. I plan to check my exhausts mounts and was even thinking about taking it in to the dealer to see what they thought. Subscribing to see what others say.

Thought I would join the crowd.
Never noticed before swapping out the mufflers or changing the gear oil to Shockproof but I was breaking it in so I wasn't pushing the engine hard.
To me, it feels like the engine is torquing over and bumping the frame.
I have looked but haven't seen any wear spots.

Check your pipe and muffler clearance carefully, especially near the right footboard. The pipe may be resonating at that rpm enough to rattle against the footboard mounts or frame, which telegraphs the motor vibration to the chassis. It probably won't be touching when the motor is off, just when it hits those rpms so look for close clearance.
