I get excessive vibration in my fairing at idle. I have replaced the front motor mount and it seems better but is not as good as other touring models I have owned. Is there a way to improve this further?
I have a 2007 street glid eand have been through 2 sets of fairing brackets. it started with around 500 miles on the bike. very bad design, I had the factory bracket reinforced and problem solved. My old mans bike, same problem. Check the fairing brackets,
Have dealer check crank run out. harley knows there is a problem with 2007 flhx's. harley just replaced mine. spec is .012. mine had .024.
My dealer just told me that this is very common and wants to charge me (4) x $75 for each bracket and (3) x $75 an hour labor. This is ********, if Harley was Toyoda they would be slammed all over the news for not recalling and paying for the fix. This is my last Harley. Anyone want a deal on an 07 denim blue street glide with 8,000 miles? [email protected]
I have a 2006 Street Glide that vibrates so much that I had to replace the fairing brackets twice .It became obvious there was an ongoing problem. The engine configuration was not compatible with the frame. My engine was essentially rebuilt and the problem remains . Spent twenty grand plus on my last Harley .Piece of garbage !

The 09 models come with a "parade" mode which causes the rear cyclinder to quit firing when idling in traffic etc to combat over heating. You should be able to kick it on by rolling the throttle grip FORWARD for 5 to 10 seconds. Have you changed the pipes or air filter? If you have and never had the EFI adjusted (either factory download or fuel tuner installed) your bike could be running extra rich causing the over heating and eventual engine destruction. New Harleys run rich from the factory, any changes to the intake/exhaust system without proper fuel injection management will cause overheating. Try getting your bike into parade mode by rolling the throttle forward to the stops for a few seconds, that will cool things down.

If you are compairing Harley to Goldwing don't. Harley's shake at idle, period. Gold Wings are the smoothest and quietest tureing bike ever. Honda tried to copy HD, we know what happened with that, But they far exceeded them when it came to smooth and quiet. I don't have an answer,
