You tube video of latest SB. Whole thing appears to shake. Bars/grips bouncing around and even the front wheel vibrates.

Is this normal....???

Look fine to me. Mine vibrates at idle but smooths out once you get going.

Don't worry about it, rubber mount does it a lot at idle, the only bike doesn't shake as bad at idle is Softail, counter balanced engine.

That's normal. If they bounced around like that on the road nobody would buy them.
It looks like your idling a little high, you could ask the dealer to bring it down to around 1000 rpm.
