Vibration
Ok I know I have a Harley and they are vibrators, but My RK has developed a "more than normal" vibration at about 1700-2100. Doesn't matter what gear or even free rev. Whether reving up or engine braking down. Just started about a week ago and it shakes the whole bike when it does.
I have checked all mount bolts and they are tight, front mount looks good also. Any clue where to look?

You didn't say what year it is. You may want to get the crank runout checked. The 2007+ seem to be prone to excessive crank runout. I have a 2012 with 5k mi and developed a vibration as you describe. It sucks.

Tire starting to cup or wear unevenly, can happen within a particular rpm band. May not be your problem, but take a look anyway.

My '08 had a bad vibration but mostly idling at the traffic lights. Turned out to be the front motor mount.
