Hi,
I had also bought a RE TB 2006 model and initially had a lot of problems of vibrations, and i use to feel i am sitting a heavy Generator. There was lots of issues with second hand bikes as most often the first owner had only ridden it without take care of it and when i comes to taking care most people sell it off. I had spend nearly 10,000/- on change of parts.

First the ball bearing of the front wheel needs to be looked and change.
Do the wheel alignment from a good mechanic, that is one of the reasons for vibrations.
For me i changed by rear tyres and my rear shock which was in the end position and 90% of the vibration is gone.
Lately my mechanic changed some ball bearing in the clutch plate box with rectangular ball bearing rather than the round one, my gear has become hard, but at even 100 i feel no vibrations, touched 80+ @3000rpm. Finding a reliable mechanic is the key. If the mechanic without trying says you need to change than he doesn't know his work. My mechanic always says let me try to repair. He does a lot of LEAD work and restricts me from buys the parts. If you are in Bangalore i will be happy to help.

the enfield Tbird does vibrate a lot above 3700-4000 rpm.. The sweet zone is 2800-3500 rpm..

Btw as a suggestion/advise.. if the vibration is too much or abnormal and your bike has done above 15,000 kms or 20,000 kms, then best to get the oil pump shaft checked or changed even.

The maximum number of engine failures in the T-bird that i have seen are due to oil not being pumped properly, due to a worn out oil pump shaft. and as a regular item, replace it every 20,000 kms or so ( ~ 1200-1400 rs ), with the helical gear that rotates it. This will ensure proper oil pressure to the head/rockers, which will make sure that the vibes stay in check.
