99% of all automobile engines sit on rubber bushing style isolation mounts, you can really feel it when one goes bad the whole car shakes. you may want to do the same with your bike as the frame and seating do not isolate you from the vibration of the engine. otherwise maybe a seat suspension like on a tractor or semi would give you a smoother ride.
