Exclamation Strange Vibration

While riding home tonite i experienced a vibration/sound coming though what it sounds like under the gas tank this only happens sometimes at slow speeds or/when i let off throttle , I'm coming on the 10,000 miles service and my friend who used to work at the dealer is going to do it much cheaper I'm yet to tell him about this sound , isn't there a motor mount under there ? i read about them going bad on this forum sometime ago , also maybe my fork oil or neck bearings ? i think it's the motor mount, but how can you tell ? I have to say after owning 2 Dyna's before my Street Bob i never felt this sound/vibration before...

Thanks for any info !
