Default Primary Chain/Vibration ???

I have been getting increased Vib's at low throttle in ALL gears lately and I THOUGHT that my Primary Chain might need adjustment. but to my ignorant brains surprise I see that 06- Dyna's have an Auto-Tensioner...
Hmmmmmmmm.... guess that's not the source of my Vibrations huh?
I notice that the vib's go away when throttle is 1/2 or more. In other words, when I GET ON IT it smooths right out (COMPLETELY!) but when I am putting along at 65 (or any speed for that matter) it shakes pretty good...right down to the pegs.
ANY IDEAS? (other than ALWAYS grabbing a handful of throttle to smooth it out)?

Check the tightness on all of your engine mounts. Especially the top one where it bolts to the engine.
