I have the V&H air cleaner, and cycle shack slip ons. I have checked the plugs and they are the right color, so I do not think the problems lies with them. Any suggestions? Is it maybe the timing?
Smoke, I would check the front motor mount bolts. My bet is that if your bike is vibrating that much, you have a loose bolt. The top bolts are easy to get to; the bottom more difficult. See if they are loose, torque 'em right and see if your bike doesn't smooth out.
