    first thing i would do is get the wheels rebalanced, then take it from there.

    Is there any thing in the history to highlight any previous problems???

    Is it a metallic vibration?

    Exhaust heatshield above centre box or above back box?

    Just read post properly. LOL

    Does it only do it at 4500 in 5th? What about same revs in 4th or 3rd. If it only does it in 5th then i'd say the gearbox is suspect.

    I know mine have always had a resonance around 4.5-5k rpm. Which is why I leave it sat at over 6k rpm at all times.
