But men i had fun today! Vibrations at 5000 make the mirror so blurry I do cannot discern if the Harley in the side of the road was a police bike or not, poor mpg had me filling gas like 4 times and making my but to relax the shape... I had fun... and I guess it was not a police bike....

A new tire just a little out of balance will cause the tire to wear more on the heavy side and can develop a rolling throb vibration.
Just my opinion

Nothing abnormal my friend, just kidding here, normal 5000rpm vibrations when having fun so far I know plus my handlebar is raised for my height. Not rolling vibrations, tires are doing fine. If i want more mpg... i would keep the RPM low but where will the fun go.... Thank you!
