Default H.D. mechanic wanted in Broward county Florida

My FLD SWITCHBACK vibrates like it's coming apart after about 3,400 rpms and 65 mph.
While I AM a retired mechanic and have wrenched on many Japanese bikes. I've never encountered a mystery like this thing.
It's unrideable at highway speeds.
But nice and smooth around town.
I'm in Sunrise Florida 33322.
I'm looking for a Harley experienced person to look at this bike.

Is the Vibe in any gear over 3400 RPM's? Have you tried disengaging the Clutch when it's Vibrating?

There are a few.
The one with the stock exhaust thing is redundant since I have V&H duals.
The front motor mount I've just ordered and will shim it if it is required when i install it.
Google.....And YOUTUBE is good stuff. Indeed.
The head bearings and tires/wheels are good.
I've removed the windshield, crash bar, sissy bar.....I'm removing parts to see if any of that crap is resonating.
Nothing yet.
I'll have the mount next weekend
