personally I think the bike runs to good to be anything to serious, oil pressure is good. I think like one of the other guys said, maybe something rubbing or a motor mount. hopefully its something that will make me feel really dumb, and everyone will say i just worry to much

Default Vibration

My bikes vibration is in the floorboards while cruising and while under acceleration. This winter I found a broken fairing mount, repaired it, and it made no difference in vibration. How many miles on your bike? I have 20,450on mine and it runs great with the FuelMoto "power package". I find it helps to keep the motor spinning around 2500 rpm, and it really does'nt like anything below 2000 rpm. My motor seems to shake a lot at idle, leading me to beleive it might be the front motor mount going or being bad. BTW, I work in Cadillac.
