Default roadking 04 custom-vibration

I put in new motormount today and the vibration is probably 50% better.Still not as good I think it should, but very rideable.Above 60 really smoothes out.
The left hand mirror vibrates more than the right.What would cause this?
Does it mean that the excess vibration is being caused by something on the left side.
I have bassini true duals and my dealer thinks some of the vibs are being cause by the solid mount of the left pipe,just above the starter.
Any thoughts.
I am going to put on the dyno next week.The shop that is doing it said that was the best way to find the vibs.I don't know but I am going to give him $45 and see.He says some bikes just vibrate more than others and he may not find anything.
Thanks
Jim
