Aloha Dave,
I would get a vibration at around that speed and it turned out a shock has
leaked fluid to the point that the rear trailing arm was vibrating at speed.
Filling it up fixed it...until it leaked low enough to start again. I kept
refilling until I got a set of rebuilt shocks.
You could try pulling the wheel, filling the shock through the filer plug
with motorcycle fork oil (or engine oil in a pinch) and see if that cures
it. Sounds like you need new shocks anyway; mine was leaking at the seal
where the arm goes into the body.

Subject: [6pack] rear shocks and vibration
hi.
Ibm getting a vibration at about 60 mph. I figured it was a u joint, but
none of them are obvious.
the passenger side rear shock is all oily, so I figure its shot.
question 1 b could they be related?
question 2 b is it as straight forward as it looks? pretty much unbolt and
bolt back in? I figure while Ibm there Ibll redo all the rubber as well
b some of it looks a little tired.
