Ive Been Riding Harley s For over 13 years. I remember the good ole days when they all vibrated. I first rode a 1991 softail custom that was my brothers. I loved the way it felt with the vibration and pulse, No honda or Yamaha could touch that. then I purchased a 2001 softail heritage fi and to my disbaleif the good vibrations were gone, it was like riding a honda that looked like a halrley . so guees what i sold that bike and got me a 1998 softail custom with the 1340 evo and it felt like i was riding a harley again. it was pepped up with flowed heads and cams and a 10-1 ration 3rd gear and a 110 mph the rear view mirrirs would start to turn and 4th and 5th gear oh man. after that i bought a 2002 Electra glide standard and rode all over sturgis in 2002 what an awesome time . and it to had the good vibrations being rubber mounted. ive stuck with rubber mounted ever since because quiet simply to me a harley is suppose to vibrate.. all of this is just my opinion. but to take away all of a Harley vibration is wrong .. If you don't like vibration to each there own there are plenty of nice Honda"s out there you can go dress up like a pirate and ride your little weekend trips on .. and if this article upsets you good .. gave you something to think about.... peace ride in safety
