vibrations

So i have this vibration issue with my -93, so far i have changed wheels and tyres, front and rear motormount´s, cleve blocks and stabo links. it is worst from 45 and slower mostly in footpegs and seat over that it kind of gets better but i would like to go slow some times to have a chance to smell the flowers

what else do you think i should look for ?

Possible exhaust hitting frame, heat shields loose or clamp touching somewhere?

Certainly sounds like something to do with the wheels, tires. Did you change out the bearings and races with the new wheels? Did you set/check wheel end play?
