Pre 99 Softails vs Post 2000

Hi All;

How much difference is there is "ride quality" between the pre-2000 softails and those made after 2000?

Are the newer ones a better ride as to "less vibration" and if so, how much "smoother"?

Does the engine idle smoother and easier from "take off"?

I love my 98 softail (looks etc) but hate the rough vibration and teeth rattling and eyeball shaking...so I am looking for opinions as hoping getting a newer softail will take care of my problem. I want a softail that will not vibrate the heck out of me when I ride it.

Yes,I am a new rider...

Any help appreciated!
Thanks!
Jake
