What you describe typically occurs when the neck adjustment is extremely loose or when the fuel tank is loose.

My handlebars shake bad when I hit 65mph. The bushings seem ok. And it’s just the bars not the whole 2010 Flstc
Hi Dale,
Here is what our expert had to say:
Make sure you are running. A good set of tires. If you have spoke rims, inspect front & rear.
We suggest that you also inspect front & rear wheel bearings as well as neck bearing adjustment.
If, at some point, you have tires dismounted, inspect rims for true.
