Default Left Side Shakes

I've noticed the left side shakes more than right side, it's especially noticeable on the saddlebags. And no I'm not referring to my girlfriends ***. Is this common with the newer touring frames?

My last two Harleys have always shook more on the right side, really noticeable on the handlebars at idle.

If you mean at idle you notice the one bag shaking more,check to see if it is seated correctly on the lower bag support and the upper retainer clips are letting it fully seat on rail.

My RK shakes a bit more on the right side at idle. However, if I squeeze the front brakes, the right side shakes about the same as the left.
