Default Excessive Vibration

2005 RK. Coming home the other night, got off at my exit, pulled up to red light and the engine seemed to be shaking a lil more than normal.

Got homr checked the motor mounts, etc. Was a little low on oil, changed that. Changed spark plugs since the rear plug was a bit fouled. Today same thing, a lil extra vibration, added some fluid to the primary.

Engine sounds and runs strong I hear nothing wrong internally. Bike has just shy of 13K on the clock, any opinions...
