Default New Vibration

I know its a Harley and its supposed to vibrate, but, I got home last night and had a different vibration in my handlebars.

Normally at idle I can see clearly in the mirrors and a small squeak from the front of the motor. When I got home last night the squeak was gone and the handlebars had a lot of vibration to the point I could not see in the mirrors.

My question is where do I need to start looking first for any changes?

I had to use some old gas that I filled with off a Indian reservation gas station. It said premium on the pump so I used it. Man did my bike ever shake for 2 days. A couple tanks later it cleared up. Runs great now.

I had just filled up at a different station than normal. Guess I'll 'have' to run this tank out pretty quick.............
