this weekend i changed my grips to the foam one to go with the Vibranators I put in i also changed my chain to the 10000 lb and now i have more vibration like i had before i had installed the Vibranators.
Can a chain cause this or do i need to look somewhere else on the bike for it the only other thing i did to the bike this weekend is an oil change and installed the adapter. i am going on the Nor-Cal ride tomorrow and i want to make sure its not something else
Double check your chain, definitely. I use the string method to align the wheel, though the better answer is an 8' light bulb (mine broke, sigh..)
A chain too tight or too loose can give you all sorts of strange rough feedback from the bike and you'll think it the motor.
Make sure your chain is not adjusted too tight! That will cause a vibration. You might try putting some excess slack in it and see if that makes a difference.

ok thanks i will try that
well i checked my chain it was loose enough but i don't think it was straight i will let you know how it does after work hard to take it for a test drive when you are suppose to be working :wacko1: :wacko1:
Thanks for all the help I rode my bike home from work and there is little to no vibration
The best chain alignmentitem I've used is a cheap laser light, called a laser edge , about $10.00 on ebay 7yrs ago, very accurate for the price
Went to the Nor-Cal rally and the vib was back took it to RPM today and we found the muffler was loose and causing the problem so 2 springs later and some welding vibration gone thanks Randy for all you help :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:
