I think it has to either be that new rear tire, or the tire balance.

Carb screw adjustments ineffective.

I put 65 miles on it Thursday night, all at over 80 mph across Houston and back.

Then Saturday, I rode up to Livingston to see the folks. Took the long way up through the woods, all at speed, and the buzz is pretty bad. I can feel it through the pegs and bars, and at virtually any speed, all gears. ( I did not ever try the 2nd gear / 30 mph on this run, as it was all highway and, going the way I went, took an hour and 45 minutes to get there and again to get home last night.) It's bad, almost unridable. My hands and feet almost hurt by the time I got home, and I have to wonder why anyone would want a V-Twin, if that' inherent. I've never had any vibration or buzziness for 84K miles, unti now,and this started with the tire change.

I will work on getting it rebalanced, but wonder if I might not just order another ME880 in the meantime. For the trouble getting the rear wheel off and back on again, I really don't want to have to pay to have it done twice.
