The stock front motor mounts on the earlier ultras were a farley soft compound, the replacment mounts are a lot harder and may cause a buss around 2500 rpms. You may want to see what front mount you installed.

Was the vibration apparent before you changed the mounts?

By any chance did the vibe start after the stator work was done (assuming the "rotor" was the stator) that you make reference to here.

It may be a dislodged magnet in the unit causing the vibration.
