Are they aftermarket DRIFTER pipes - using drifter right foot peg?

If so, you have the pipes hard mounted - which causes a ton of vibration. This is a problem in a sorts of ways. You have a rubber mounted engine being held by the pipes.

I suggest you get a classic right foot peg and fabricate a proper hanger. There are instructions in the mods/tips section of the web site. It isn't difficult at all.

This MAY not be your problem, but it is something that needs to get fixed in any event.

Mine does the same thing......but I kinda got used to it but now that you have said something its made wonder a bit. Ill tell you what i've done....
I have:
Changed tires (one had a broken belt in it) but still shook after being replaced
I had vance and hines exhaust that were hard mounted (no rubber) on the passenger foot peg....Then i bought a vulcan classic foot peg (rubber built in) and Hard Krome exhaust for a vulcan classic (the one mount is the only difference).......still shakes

Just replaced the seat....gotta corbin with little padding and noticed that I can feel mine more from the rear.....I always felt it more in the handle bars....

So now I hit up google and have seen that it maybe a bad injector (kinda makes since) and also I found this http://www.gadgetjq.com/ujoint.htm which makes since ....so says my dad....he says a U-joint can sometimes have a sweet spot in them to...

Maybe we will get our answer soon............If I can find a U-joint tomorrow i'm going to be replacing mine

Hey Friends,
I need some help. At a specific RPM range, through all 5 gears, my newly purchased 2000, 1500cc drifter vibrates. The vibration is like driving over a washboard and is a big mystery to me. I am new to the drifter and haven't owned a motorcycle for years.  I would appreciate any help you can offer.

Someone suggested that it might have something to do with my aftermarket pipes.

How do you check the fuel/air mixture?

Thanks for your help

-Steve
