I just bought a 1995 wide glide . ive had some issues with excessive vibration out of the foot pegs handlebars and seat. its at lower rpm's. ive changed all the motor mounts done the alignment procedures , vertical, front, and rear. checked the compensator nut,primary chain tension, final drive belt tension,. checked the whole bike over for loose bolts or nuts , cracks in the frame, tire pressure. with the bike in nuetral and sitting on it , when i start too throttle the bike and get it to about 2500 rpms or so it shackes like crazy. the mirrors are completely blurred . it will blur your vision and rattle your teeth. BAD!you cant hardly keep your feet on the pegs. and you cant see straight. its more like a shutter really.same if im riding it , or cruising at a lower rpm range . its terrible. the rpms are to high to be lugging the motor. if im cruising at higher rpms like around 65 , 70 mph its pretty smooth. same as if i ramp through the gears at high rpms,smooth. its definately rpm sensative . when you ride on the highway and clutch the motor as it idles down when it hits that rpm range you can feel it shutter. this is the only wide glide ive ever been on. ive heard guys say the bike should be shacking a little at idle the as soon as you take off its smooth as silk. the only thing i havent addressed is the transmission alignment . cant find any real info on this procedure. then theres always the flywheels too. at this point i would be happy to know it was the flywheels so i could just fix the (EDIT)
thing. some guys are saying..."oh that bike is gonna ride like that no matter what you do" i cant imagine that , how anybody would wanna ride a bike like mine is right now is beyond my comprehension. lol.can any wide glide owners chime in and give thier views on how my bike should be? lol . sorry bout the long post.
