can't thank you enough for the response...
I'm glad to see you mention the tires as that was also a huge vibration as well. About 2 weeks ago I had them road force balanced and wow what a difference. Dead smooth now off throttle at any speed. (I just learned about "road force" balancing).

muffler components vibrating,
plastic engine cover,
exhaust / manifold head shields,
shock bolts,
