Big Vibration!

Just a lil update I have been able to remove my terrible vibration. I had installed the Magnecor R-100 wires and that's when the vibration made itself known. I am NOT bad mouthing the wires. This is NOT to bash Magnecor. The wires are beautiful and looked great on the bike. But I know this,
When I put my old wires back on the vibration vanished. Gone. Period.
I cannot explain why this would be. Trust me I've been running mad chasing this vibration. Checking mounts, plugs, adjusted push rods, removed primary cover to inspect, checked drive belt, etc. etc. I wish I would have done the wire swap in the beginning, I just kept telling myself " it can't be the wires"
Why did they cause the severe and I mean intense, vibrate my feet off the pegs vibration? I don't have a clue. I know the dog's have sensitive electronics and maybe that has something to do with it. I welcome someone with EHC experience to give an opinion here.
Did you try another set of Magnacores? Could it be possible they were bad from the factory? I have never used Magnacore wires, but have heard good things about their wires. It would be interesting to find out if they were defective or what?

Here are the results on a meter.
While I had the probes on the wires I did move them around, shake and twisted them to see if there was any obvious bad connection but nothing seemed obvious.




I bought a set of wires from Big Dog and installed them last night. They work fine, no additional vibes. They don't look that great, just plain 'ol skinny black wires.
I'm going to contact Magnacor and see what they suggest.

I would also check the frame for cracks in the welds. When you pull in the clutch, this is relieving the strain on the frame too.
