Re: Viiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiibration is killing me
your is the rigid mounted sporty so the vibes can be quite bad, either invest in a bar snake or a set of anti vibration rubbers in the Yokes when you put on the new risers, also try Kuryakyns ISO grips they have nice rubber sections that isolate some of the vibes and i find them awesomly comfy.
also make sure the motor is tuned nicely and the belts and primary are adjusted correctly and the wheels are in balance and true. As for the tank hum no idea other than slipping a rubber gromet between the frame mounts at the front to dampen the vibes

Re: Viiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiibration is killing me
Have you installed pipes and air cleaner?A lean running/poorly tuned bike bike will shake.A good tuning couyld help you out some.Go over the engine mounts with a torque wrench.Adjust the primary and final drives.Check the bike over for loose items.A loose exhaust will rattle your teeth loose.Every little bit helps.

Re: Viiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiibration is killing me
Plase don't be offended but a big guy like yourself needs to be on a big twin...the sportster is a fine motorcycle but HD puts the same clutchs in the 1200 as they do in the 883 and the weight it has to carry will tear up the clutch...especially if you are doing 4 grand hole shots...again I apologize if I have offended you...

what? eh? doing 4K hole shots on any custom twin will rip the clutch apart be it Bigtwin/sporty or metric and why because he is a big guy does he NEED a big twin a Sportster is a Big Twin its over 1000cc in capacity
