Noticed some vibrations while breaks at any speed even when bike is stop, the right side of the bike shakes more then the lift side!

When is in park using front or rear breaks vibrations will appears and no changes on RPM or engine run/sound

Any idea please

Thanks

Any vibration felt while braking that is actually caused by the brakes would stop once the bike stopped rolling.  So you either don't have a braking issue or have two separate issues.

Is it perhaps a pulsing rather than a vibration while braking?  That would be more common.  If so consider warped rotors.

If there's a vibration at idle with the bike not moving a motor mount is a potential problem.  So is the exhaust or other engine mounted part contacting the brake pedal or something else it shouldn't be.  Compensator and other engine issues can give the impression you describe also.  Some of these could present while moving and while sitting still.  Warped rotors would only be felt while braking.

Unfortunately many possibilites for a vibration.  Work and check methodically.  Front to back, top to bottom or whatever other system works for you.  Just have to be sure you don't skip anything.

on any harley ive ever owned the vibration increases if you lock the wheel with the brake the free wheel mass helps absorb some of the vibration, braking causes the vibration to transmit to the frame.
