(OEM/Factory) GPS mount?

Looking for some input on a 2012 Voyager 1700 gps mount. I have a Garmin Zumo 660LM in a Touratech locking mount. It's combined with the 4 bolt ball plate, short arm and a 1" ball mounted to one of the riser clamp bolts.

My issue is excessive vibration. Comparable to a paint shaker action! Somewhat better at cruise, but not acceptable. I used a Nuvi in the same configuration for nearly 11K miles with no vibration issues.

I'm assume the additional mass of the Zumo and Touratech are the issue. I have tried most adjustments the ball mount will allow with limited success..

Is there a remedy to reduce vibration? Has anyone used the OEM mount with success? Also-will the Touratech locking mount fit the Kawasaki OEM/Billet mount without an adapter or modification?

I hope someone has first hand experience as I'm not into making anymore $300 mistakes-aka billet mount.
