If you haven't tried this give it a shot. It made a difference on my bike. It seems the basic idea is to shake down the isolators with the full weight of the swingarm pulling on the rear mount. It's worth a shot. Just do # 13 and then check the alignment. I ran mine for the full 30 seconds. I tightened the frame to mount bolts first to keep the mounts centered. Front frame then front engine, rear frame then rear engine.

I did the shakedown a couple times, as well as alignment and I even removed the exhaust brace and when that didn't work I removed the slip ons to test it that way. I don't know! I'm contemplating adding an extra spring to the comp cover to give that a try, but I really don't want to pull the primary cover again. Went for a ride last night, if I get stuck anywhere from 35mph or lower its miserable, if there's no cars on the road and I can get to at least 40 it's liveable to some degree.
I'm starting to think the aluminum pullback risers are part of the issue. I was watching this yesterday since I was stuck at at 30 and it shakes at the handlebar clamp, I can see it moving there, but it's not bad if you touch the engine or even the triple trees. I could hold either for hours with no issue. I just installed new OEM rubber bushings before the ride. It made a slight difference, but I think softer ones would help, but they only seem to sell poly which I just took off.

Stock oem bushings no change. Compression test 125 F 130 R cold engine. Looked down the pistons are carbon free and very clean. Still feels like it's electrical to me but I can't locate anything. Plugs look good jetting is right.
Is there a way to test the ignition system while running like the coil while the bike is running at a specific rpm?

I can feel it all over it shakes the bars hardest. Threw the apes back on to absorb it so I can ride, 15 minutes on the stock bars and my hands are pins and needles. Torn on the black bars vs chrome
