This makes me extremely happy since it was really starting to drive me nuts!
I still have a slight pulsation in the brake pedal when stopping which is kind of disappointing for new rotors. I plan to have them machined to smooth things out. Everything is otherwise back to normal.
I appreciate all the help everyone offered. The guy at the tire shop said they aren't aware of the Bonneville being such a problem for vibrations. I suspect this is simply because they don't see many of them. He tells me the Honda Odyssey is an absolute nightmare though.

I hope this resolves your vibration issue, Chris. I trust you'll keep us in the loop here. Mine were $30.00/each (+ tax). IMO worth every penny (and then some). I can't even begin to tell you the "Irritation Factor" I experience by little things like this.
Thanks again for the help everyone!

Hi everyone, just thought I would follow up and let you guys know I went to a shop which had the GSP9700. I had the Auroras tires balanced. The difference is night and day! They DID notice some play in the drivers side front wheel bearing, so I ordered that part and will be replacing it shortly.
Overall, it was well worth the effort!
