Default Bad vibrations!

I'm the proud and happy owner of a new 2007 Ultra (2675 mi.). I have some of the trans.noise and clatter frequently reported here, but R. Purple 85-140 has basicly eliminated that issue. I have Rinehart T-D headers adapted to fit V&H ovals with SE air filter and PC 111. Runs great. Less noise and better low end tq. than with the Rinehart mufflers.

My issue is a pronounced vibration between 2600 and 2800 RPM. The vibration is very noticeable. Reving as I run through the gears It is very easy to tell when I pass 2600.

Has anyone heard of, or dealt with such a problem? Any Ideas??
