Default motor shakin

I noticed a greater shake in the engine since I went 95" and I don't mind it, but mama says it is making her feet numb when she rides. I know some people don't give a hoot for the new motor mount and went back to the old one. Any thoughts on velva ride or what else can I look at to keep mama happy?

Could be the fact that the parts aren't balanced very good, part of what you get just uping the CI's.
