Odo, I appreciate it, but when I purchased the bike used it already had the HC pistons installed. When I first bought it I dont remember it being this bad but I've delt with this for so long I cant honestly remember what it felt like before.

Snacky,

You ain't helping me here, LOL ! ! !

'When' did you first 'notice' the vibration? Did a 'mod' get added, 'then' the vibration problem 'start' turning up?

What was the last 'mod' that you did to the engine?

Just trying to help. NOT trying to make you angry.

Odo

I'm not angry at anything except this damn bike Odo. lol I appreciate all the help.
I dont remember the bike vibrating this bad when I bought it and I have done no mods to it. The only thing I ever did was change the oil and the crankcase oil. I have gone back and used every oil imaginable to try and see if that was the cause and it hasnt changed. At no time did I feel anything snap, disconnect, break lose, etc and I have heard nothing out of the ordinary with the engine. It has a solid note with no misfires, backfires, snapping, or popping. It has been rejetted 3 times and I have tried 4 different Dyna3000 settings with no change. I honestly dont think any external fix is going to work, I have tried them all. Whatever is wrong is wrong internally in the engine and can only be examined and possibly fixed by looking inside the engine which is unfortunantly very expensive. I'm sure if I spent $8000 on rebuilding the engine or getting it back to stock config it would probably run fine, but spending the same amount I spent on the bike to begin with doesnt quite make sense to me.
It's pretty much a lemon IMO. Probably a good bike at one time but not so right now.
I'm sorry if I have waisted anyones time with this, it has been very fustrating for me.
