Check out the link in the previous post. It will explain exactly how and why Harley engines lope at idle. Both rods are connected to the same throw of the crank, and one is slightly longer than the other. Harleys do vibrate at idle, but above 1800 rpm they are quite smooth. Harley's newest engine, the Twin Cam 88, is much smoother than the older HD engines but retains the lopey idle. I ride a 2003 Superglide with a TC88 and I love it. I rode over 5000 miles this summer with absolutely no problems. No oil leaks either. Harley has that solved. Their newest version of the Twin Cam 88 is the 88B model. It is the first balanced Harley engine. It is only available in certain models. My father-in-law and brother-in-law both have Twin Cam 88B's. They are PERFECTLY SMOOTH and have absolutely no vibration at all, yet they retain the lopey and distinctive Harley idle. The "family" both ride injected HDs, mine is carbureted. Overall I find the Harley Davidson to be a machine of excellent quality, and their mechanicals to be first class. Regards, TOM
