There are three mounts, not just one in the front.  Has anyone checked the two rear mounts and the powertrain alignment?  This is a critical area on the older bikes with the single front mount, and if folks just replace a failed front mount without also checking and neutralizing the rear mounts and then checking/correcting the alignment they can find themselves with more vibration, not less.  (The rear mounts are the rubber bushings on either end of the swingarm pivot btw).  Just a thought.

Another thought is to check all the easy stuff first, like any grounding out of parts to other parts, like brake pedals to pipes, other parts to the frame, etc.  The engine tends to shake qujite noticeably at idle, so what seems like good clearance with the bike shut down may not be when the engine is shaking at idle.  Just another thought.

Jerry, I checked the rear motor mounts and looked for any items "grounding". So far I haven't found anything that has solved the problem.

Thanks,

Sunman

Find someone who has done a gear drive conversion and has their original cam plate collecting dust.  Then cut the cam plate in half, drill a couple holes, get a cheap dial indicator and, voila, nearly free tools.

Thanks,  good idea.  I'll be cutting my old plate soon!
