Default 05 King has a different vibration!

I have a new vibration. Bike only has 15K on it. I checked the front mount and it looks like new. Bike is always garaged and NEVER ridden in the rain.

This new vibe feels like maybe back of engine/under seat or rear wheel area. It happens at various speeds and comes and goes. Sometimes it's activated by going over rough areas on the road. To best describe it, it's like the shopping cart wheel that flops around until you go faster or slower and it's like a high frequency vibration like a binding bearing or bushing. Sometimes it's noticeable when rounding a curve. I did find a large piece of gravel lodged firmly between the rear fork and the frame thinking it was causing the engine vibration to resonate at certain frequencies. However, after removing and going for a test ride..that wasn't it.

I welcome any and all ideas.

Smart ******* replies aside, take it to a dealer and have someone give it a test ride. Often, the mind plays with you. The more miles I ride my King, the less I worry about stuff, but in the beginning, everything was a mind f__k. Take it in and have someone put your mind at ease.
