Its probably the front mount. I replaced a factory worn out one with a drag one and its been a vibration battle since. Ive retorqued it a dozen times at different settings using different installation methods and still i have off idle vibration and 5th gear right in the cruising range it feels like the frame is broken...lol...its not. Im waiting for what seems like the last factory one in the country to come into a dealership that i dont usually go to because of distance but they showed one in-stock but at another of their stores so im waiting. Researching engine mounts is similar to oil, shocks and tires...opinions are all over the place. I wanted stock because that bike was smooth as silk before the mount went bad. Good luck

What year and model? Some of them just shake like that. My 05 Electraglide would vibrate so bad at idle I couldnt read the gauges. I installed a new mount, I repaired the fairing (inner brace), could never get rid of it.........but it went away as soon as you came off idle so I just learned to accept it.
