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.
