Vibration issue on my bike project

Been reading a ton but figured it's time to jump in and share one of my current builds. I'm a longtime minibike fan and recently started restoring a 1978 Coleman Trailmaster with a Lifan 110cc semi-auto engine. Right now I'm troubleshooting a weird vibration at mid-throttle , could it be the motor mounts or chain alignment?
 
Could be both I think, but I'm leaning more toward the chain because if it's the mounts you'll notice the vibration at every speed and throttle position. I'm guessing you've tightened everything?
 
That vibration at mid-throttle could definitely be caused by loose or worn motor mounts or a misaligned chain. Its worth checking that the engine is securely mounted and that the chain is properly tensioned and aligned, as even small deviations can cause noticeable vibration on a lightweight minibike like the Trailmaster.
