Vibration
I have an 03 1200 custom that I am getting a vibration at a cretin RPM. The vibration is so bad that it vibrates my gas cap and makes a annoying rattling sound. It only does it around cretin rpm range (around 30- 40 mph in 2nd gear) and then it comes out of it. any ideas. It sounds like is coming from my primary. It just started about 3 weeks ago and I had my primary chain adjusted with no help. Any Ideas?  |

You only get a those speeds, strange should be getting it at every speed. that was frame mounted motors do, vibrate. I doubt you have a problem, just a frame mount.

I have had the bike for 2 years and it has never done this before. I know the bike vibrates some but not like this. It only has 17K miles on it and I am not a real hard rider.

Sounds like you lost, or have a loose, a bolt in one of the engine mounts.

Agreed. Check ALL your mounting bolts.

What RPM? Check all fasteners first. Harleys have been know to vibrate.
