Looking at your picture I see why mine shakes, I don't have that bracket from the rear fender to the support. It must have been removed at some point before I got the bike.. Thanks!!!

I've heard of other people having this same problem.
If you had pipes put on you may want to check the studs at the head. I know it gets a little tight on space and they may not have tightened them as much as the front. This would make the whole pipe shake.
is the rubber isolator under the saddlebag support worn out or split??

i Changed out my rubber isolator and i slipped in a small washer along side the rubber. that took what little play there was out of the shaking. last time i checked the washer was still there. i still have a little movement, but not much.

The bracket coming from the fender is part of the FBI rear tire kit. That isn't on the stock fender, just the verticle bracket.
P/N 91140-04 is the one that's used on the RG's, SG's and Kings w/o the rear bumper. It ties the 2 sides together. Also check the backside (inside) of your fender, there should be a stud there where the bracket will attach.
Thanks guys!! I don't have the stud anymore on the backside of the fender, I shaved it when I was making the holes and prepping for paint... I'll figure something out.
