Angry (not so good) vibrations

Just recently put a new rear tire on my 2008 FXDL. Got the VIBES!!! Not bad but annoying! Took it back off and checked the balance, OK, checked wheel alignment, OK, checked "vehicle alignment, recommended not to exceed 1 percent, mine at .50 percent. Checked and re-adjusted clutch & replaced fluid. Critical fastners seemed to have been OK and no signs of motor mount failure.
Rear wheel bearings didn't seen rough but did seem to have some drag. Also, seems to be in left foot peg, right grip and once in a while, I feel it in the seat.

IDEAS????

Is the drive belt tension correct. Could be the belt creating a harmonic vibration and being transmitted through the frame.

+1 on the drive belt tension. At least you didn't get a wobble after changing you rear tire.
