It takes a bit to settle down with the new stock motor mount sometimes, like 2-5k miles. Some folks have better results with a different brand like Velva Ride or Glide Pro which is a good one.

I had the exact same problem and it is frustrating. Its kind of funny, I had read that the 09s shake a lot less with the new frame, but my new SG shakes the same as my 02.
Anyways, one thing I did that seem to help the vibration a little was replace the rubber bushing that connets the exhaust to the frame under the saddle bags. They only cost about $4 and take only five minutes to replace. That should help some.

I tightened my head pipes at the headers when I had the same issue on my '05 RKC. Helped a little. I was having the same issue, especially at idle. Still pretty "shakey" so I may look into replacing the spark plugs and also adjusting the idle or Power Commander. It's a Harley, so they shake and vibrate, but only to a certain degree.
