i bet it shakes becasue you are not using genuine HD oil or have a over heating problem.

Once again make sure that all the motor mount bolts are tight. Then have the compression checked, if there is a significant difference between the cylinders that will cause it to shake. If the difference is significant you need to do a leak down to help pinpoint the problemThen check your wires, spark plugs and injectors if you have them. Lastly if you got around 30-40,000 milesyou might want to check your lifters.

Try not to hold the front brake on when stopped. This will help reduce some transmitted vibrations.
