try checking the intake to the airbox that comes off the inner wing.
i had a vibration at 30mph,replaced all the uj's and rubber doughnut,then found the two plastic push in screws had some off the air intake which should be tight against the inner wing.
have not fixed this yet but tied the intake pipe back and the noise changed so i assume this is the problem.
hope this may help.
