I am getting vibration on my 95 classic as early as 35 miles an hour can someone please tell me what is going on with this.?

Are the tires balanced? How are the bushings, especially the panhard rod? How are the tie rod ends? How is the swivel preload? There are any number of things that could cause vibration. When and how does it occur. What tends to cause the vibration. Can you provide a little more detail???

I have dealt with the steering vibration issues too. I would get a vibration when hitting a bump in the road, usually while going 60-70mph. I have replaced the steering damper, bushings, tie rod ends, and shocks. My steering is good now(knock on wood). Consider replacing these items. From what I have read, the steering vibration is common. Search this fourm, there are some other threads with good info.

Panhard rod bushing...... they cause vibs... low speed up to 80 (for me)
radius bushings (40 - 65 mph for me)

Tire balance..... just plain off.... but not till above 50... just what I have had happen!
