What did you do to your bagger today?

what i did to a bagger today!
i changed out a 50 jet for 48 jet on a cv carb.
this was done because i was told this was the reason for the missing in the motor, there for the motor was vibrating.
this changed nothing, the bike still vibrates while idling down and during take off. 2 gear also.
i did recently change out the front motor mount. the mehanic knew this and had suggested to change the 48 jet with 1 and a 1/2 turn out on air mix.
mount is in correct, this not the problem.
any other suggestions?

Is the vibration more than normal for any 45 degree, single crank pin, no counter balancer, rubber mounted Harley? Every one I've owned has shaken like a paint mixer, at idle and up to around 3K RPM, in bottom gears, when accelerating. To me, that is considered normal.
My XR is the worst, but has the hottest cams, though, too. FWIW, holding the front brake at stops, makes the shake worse. I'm not a MoCo guru, but have owned a bunch of Harleys, and the only one that didn't shake was a Heritage, with a B engine.

Paint is almost done on my road glide. It's funny how the two pics are one regular and one with flash and they still aren't an accurate depiction of the true color. Just didn't feel like opening up all my camera equipment for a quick snapshot at the time.
