Default pegs

I have a bad vibration at the lower rpms on my street bob, I checked everything I can think of with no success, I'm at the conclusion it's the nature of my motor, since I don't think I can fix it I figure I'll try and mask it, does anyone know of any anti-vibration pegs available? the vibe isn't unbearable but it's uncomfortable

Have you checked your motor mounts? Tried shimming the front motor mount? Both those have been known to help people. I recently did both and didn't notice much difference but either my bike doesn't have much a vibration or other people are too picky.

What kind of vibration is it? Very fast high pitched vibration or a slow throbbing vibration? I put insoles in my riding boots and I feel nothing from any pegs on any bike.

I think carburetor issues can also create vibration, right?

I got a huge increase in peg vibration when my front mount gave up the ghost.

I have heard the Iso pegs (Kuryakyn & others) help with vibes, but I wouldn't expect miracles.

Yes, carb tuning, particularly the idle circuit, can greatly affect vibes.
