Where are the vibes felt? Seat? Handlebars ? Floorboards ? Is it evident when touching the body panels or console to a lesser degree or greater degree?
How many miles on the bike and what has been done or modified if anything?

Also what gear and RPM is the motor running in when they are most pronounced. If you pull in the clutch do you still feel them. I wonder if a tire lost its balance weights?

My wife was commenting on this, not exactly complaining about it.  Upon further investigation, I discovered this was installed in the back seat ...

I wonder when she had that installed ???

I just took my 2011 onto the highway for the 1st time today ( I had a 08 VV ) and it was smooth as silk. In fact I thought I was doing 65-70 and when I looked down I was over 100MPH. I backed it down quick because it rained yesterday and the temp was in the 20's. Light flurries and black ice. Not to smart on my part! But it was smooth for 45 min ride.
