Default 2009 EGC engine or drivetrain noise?

I have a 2009 Electra glide classic so its 96 cubic inch and 6 speed...

But I have a weird feel to the engine in the 3000 rpm range in most gears..

I can feel a harder thump(best way to describe) when in 1-5 gears around 2500-3500 rpm range...its a little harder thumping that I can feel in handle bars and with my highway pegs.
I dont think I really feel it in 6th gear..
but its not 100% constant and it doesnt thump enough to be everytime a piston goes up..possible every other time..
you can feel it more when I rev it up when cruising around the 2500-3000 rpm..it thumps harder.

Didnt have this with my 2007 streetbob...

I only have 5100 miles on the bike.

Any help will be great...
or ways to help trouble shoot or see what I need to look for..

I have royal purple in trans (shifts better)
and Mobil 1 VTwin syn in engine

Interesting. I thought I noticed something like this on my SG, but only noticed it a little on smoother roads. Roads around here are horrible so I just though it was the road.
