Cool Vabration

I Have A 99 Fxdwg With A Vibration When Driving Down The Road Only. It Gos Away When I Pull The Clutch In.it Sounds And Feels Like A Bad Universal Joint In A Car.but On The Bike You Just Feel It. When I Am Going Around 50 Mph Or So And Let Off The Gas It Gets A Lot Worse. Hope Some One Can Help Me. Thanks Henry

How many miles are on the bike? You might want to check your motor mounts to see if one is broken.

I too would check the mounts, I dont know for sure but a lot of guys were having vibration problems with the compensator nut coming loose inside your primary, maybe check that if your mounts are fine.
