97 electra glide bad vibration

Hi just putting this out there, I have a 97 electra glide that has a lot of vibration. I've checked the mounts they seem good. You can really feel it when you let off the throttle. Tranny shifts fine. Any other ideas? I did and oil change/ flushed it from synthetic to conventional not sure if that would make much of a difference. And also had slip ons installed.

Motor mounts can "look fine" but be worn out. Especially ones that are 17 years old. Check rear mounts at frame too. Rubber mounted engines can sag and contact frame on left side under primary.
