I bet its the difference going from your HD to a Dog. Was your HD a Twin Cam or rubber mount?

I think Thumper nailed it ... coming from any production bike your gonna feel like your sitting on a blender and will feel ALL the moving parts. Keep in mind as things start to wear in and you start getting use to it a big smile will stretch from ear to ear!! the day I rode mine home first thing I said was WTF was I thinking this is like riding a lawnmower on the street. After a while I started getting use to it and as I poured on the miles it just kept getting better. :2thumbs:
 
I reminded my buddy that he was not on a rubber mounted motor anymore, pushing a bigger engine and that vibration will be there.

I ride a '99 Sportster, which is a fuckin' vibrator.
The first time I rode Thumpers K-9, I couldn't keep my feet on the pegs.
BIG difference.

I bet you are all right. I only have 1k miles on it and I believe I am getting more and more use to it. Sometimes you must just suck it up. I sure do love the looks at red lights. Smiling already! Thank you all.

Finn, I came off a 2000 1200C and that thing vibrates like a blender with rocks in it. :cheers:
