Vibration problem,primary or transmission
Got vibration when i release the throttle at 2800 to 2200 rpm.If i pull the clutch vibration goes away in that rpm range.Vibration comes from under the floorboards right to under the seat.That started about 150 miles ago.At first i tought it was my new front tire but when i pull the clutch the vibration stops.Any clue?

Motor mounts or exhaust as noted. Also ive read guys say this can happen if you have a cross under pipe and the bolt that holds it up is loose. As it bolts into the bottom of the trans. And the reason it goes away with the clutch would its dropping the rpm down and no strain on the motor at all.

Of course all questions are serious...
..they are bolted to the motor and extend to the frame..That inner primary sure gets throw out a lot ..
Have not a clue to your problem but to try to answer your question......Watch motor closely when someone starts, idling and turns it off looking from the side.
Does it rock fwd or back excessive almost like it's bouncing? It's normal to move but it should be like rubber damping it. My friend's Roadking front motor mount bolt fell completely out. Probably from someone not putting it in correctly however.. There is one in front below oil filter. One hanging under gas tank above horn cowbell . Other is at rear transmission. On your bike, the engine,transmission, rear swingarm and wheel are a whole assembly bolted to the frame as a unit bound by the rear shocks.
Go to this site and search the engine mounts with stabilizer..There is some elaborate mounts on your bike. Never did find the transmission mount but it's there. Would appear if someone has messed with floor boards, that front mount could be loose since it bolts to the hanger for it.
