    I followed up a lead, on this and other HD forums, about the sometimes excessive vibes on my 09 build Dyna outside of the smooth range.  Loosened the front mount, found a 3mm gap, installed a 3mm spacer washer, bolted it together and the tingly vibes are now all but gone. Also put some 5mm polyethylene foam under the seat to lift it off the frame and now nothing through the seat. A completely different bike to ride. A simple and nil cost fix.....wish it was all this simple.

     Would not be wise to ignore something that make sense.
