Thank you for the tips.
Took her out today for about 150 miles to shake her down. Other then a slight driveline vibration she ran and handle like a dream.

Boog it looked like #1 but three times fatter LOL

I found a repair order for the last oil change with previous owners number and texted him. He called me back and told me other than what you can see like the seat and backrest and windshield the bike is still stock so that leaves it open for mods of my liking.

As far as the vibration I determined that is in the engine cuz while cruising down the highway if I let off the throttle and squeeze the clutch it goes away and then if I slowly bring the RPMs back up the vibration returns but a idle there's no vibration even if the bikes cruising it 70-80 mile an hour down the highway only when the RPM's or up so you may be right about a tuning issue.

The engine is not a perfectly smooth engine. Even though the bike has a balancer, once you start running 70-80 there is a little more vibration that enters into the picture. It is not a shaker like a Harley, but it would not be as smooth as maybe a BMW or some other bikes. I can't speak for certain on others bikes as either I can't recall the past or I haven't ridden them. I generally don't run more than 75 anyway unless I'm feel lucky with the police or a bit frisky.

With TuneECU you can balance the throttle bodies, but it is an almost impossible task to do with the stock intake system on. I didn't even attempt mine till after I put the Ramair system on. Then, it was quite simple to do. On my R3T I have found the NELs tuning to be very smooth and performs well. There may be another choice for a little better performance, but it seems to purrs so nicely I have not tried another. Still, I can feel vibration at higher speeds that I don't notice at say...65. I'm sure there are other factors like wind and tires as well.

That vibration is normal almost every rocket has it. Try pulling the clutch in, just enough to take up the free play, and I’ll bet the vibration goes away. But you need that free play so you don’t destroy the clutch.

Yep it goes away. I also noticed it sounds like an old Chevy with a bad throwout bearing when I just have it sitting there idling in neutral and the clutch is released. LOL
Is this just another normal characteristic of the Triumph?

Normal.
Also double clutch from neutral in to first and she will go in smoothly no clunk.
