Default 107 Milwaukee-Eight Vibrations @ higher speeds

Anybody else out there having high speed vibration problems with the 2017 Limited with Milwaukee 8 engine? I have a vibration that tears my body up. Evan the handlebars vibrate at higher speeds!
I should have refined this to a BODY Killer VIBRATION some where between 2500-3000+++++ RPM. It is not bad at first (10-15 minutes) After 50-100 miles you want to throw the bike off a bridge!

Mine did too until I loosened the entire exhaust front to back, ran the bike for a few minutes and then re-tightened. Still some buzz, but nothing like it was before.

My 107 in my Road King is fine but I'm comparing it to my Sportster

Mine vibrates in the 3k rpm range. It is worse under light loads & is intermittent. Sometimes it vibrates badly & other times its very smooth. It will do it in all the gears, The dealer says all is normal after some extended road tests but I don't agree. My 2015 was smoother. It has improved as the miles are put on so i'm thinking it may be ok in time. 2800 on it now.
