Bike Vibration at load

Yesterday, noticed a vibration when loading up the bike in 5th gear with 2 up. It was a vibratition but I dont think it was engine or wheels. When I was back to one up no vibration. my passenger is only 100lbs I am going to try it again today but this is very odd, I noticed it went away after going to 6th gear

100lb? Hmmm... I'd have to say..... NO SKINNY BITCHES!

LOL, just kidding!

1st and 5th whine a little on mine (pretty common), but no vibration. Do you have air suspension? If so, is it adjusted right for extra weight? Just some thoughts.
