I just bought this bike and love it...but it vibrates enough to blur my vision once i go over sixty mph...I was told to get an aftermarket fork stabelizer?...would hate to never get on the freeway. I am new to riding and could use some sugestions...thanks |

If it is vibrating that much I would check the engine mounts for wear. I had a Blast at one time and she would "smooth out" vibration-wise once I got up to speed. A fork brace will help with stability but the vibrations come from the engine.
Also: you might get more responses if you post in the Blast specific area of the board.

Hi I would also check the Wheel Bearings, Fork Bearings, and also check the Tires. I have had the Rear Wheel Bearings go on my Bike and Caused some Vibrations but what Britchri10 said is what probably is the Problem. How many Miles does the Bike have?

Eh roommate. You might be better off taking this to the Thumper forum. It is more direct to your bike. Just saying! As far as the vibration, it is, after all, part Harley! |
