What I meant by my statement smoke245 is that the dealers excuse that "all Sportsters do this" or "all Harley's vibrate that much" isn't a solution to the problem. If you don't think your bike is running right or are not happy with it's performance the dealer should do what it takes to make it right.
All Harley's do have some vibration, I know my 05 Super Glide does. But it shouldn't be excessive. I know if my feet vibrated off of the pegs every time I rode my bike I'd have it back to the dealer to see what was wrong. And I wouldn't just let them give me the "all Harley's do that" excuse just because they don't want to put the time and effort in to fix the issue.
I know my Dad's 04 1200 Custom vibrated quite a bit at idle. But smoothed out once he was on the move. You might want to bump your idle up a little bit to see if it smooths out some. Most shops tend to set the idle a little low. Do you have a problem keeping your feet on the pegs or are the mirrors so blurry you can't tell whats behind you? As long as it's fine while your riding I wouldn't worry too much about it. But if your bike is still under warranty make an appointment to have it looked at just for peace of mind.
