Fix My Hog Answers It would be hard to speculate what might cause a “slight” floorboard vibration. These motorcycle’s can vibrate themselves apart overtime. Your front pipe may be tapping/hitting your right side floorboard bracket when you are riding. May not be touching when parked or idling on kick stand. Otherwise, you can try loosening every mounting point of your exhaust. Then re-tighten, evenly, starting at the heads and working your way back to muffler mounts. See if there is any change. Also, check motor mounts. Don’t forget the top mount.

    I do have a similar problem with my Fatbob 2015, but it vibrate footpeg and handlebar betwen 1800 and 2200 rpm...I replaced the exhaust for an hipower 2x1 and the front mount for a predator, but still there...it is like a resonance?

    Also he might check and make sure the strap holding his heat shield is not broken. Sometimes you can't tell unless you take the heat shield off and have a close look. Hope this helps and you find the problem.
