[smiley=nervous.gif]Thanks for the reply. I've been paying a lot of attention to the vibes from the Rod and since my other ride is now an Ultra it seems even worse. Took the Ultra to Rolling Thunder XIX (my wife can't stand more than an hour or so of the Rod). We traded her '05 Sportster on the Ultra and although I'm proud of the fact that she put 5000 miles on the Sportster in a year I'm glad to have her back behind me. Anyway, getting off the Ultra and on the Rod is like getting out of a Caddy and into a Corvette. Best of both worlds, I guess. Coming up on 3000 miles on the Ultra and nearly 11,000 on the Rod. I have Rineharts on the Rod. Reckon that could have anything to do with the bad vibes? It sounds great although I sometimes feel a little guilty leaving my neighborhood at 6:00 AM. The vibes still seem to be getting a little worse although some of that feel may be in part to the difference between the Ultra and the Rod. It is not a pleasant sensation. Rear view mirrors aren't worth much above 55 and I don't ride much below 55. Kinda reminds me of a '99 Sportster I tried out once. I just don't think it feels right although the mech still says it's normal.
