Default Vibratechnics Rear torque bush (vibrations)

Had a vibratechnics rear engine torque bush fitted just before Xmas and it stopped the engine rocking back and forth under acceleration, with vibrations only being felt at when setting off, but the vibration seem to be getting stronger and upto 2nd/3rd gear.

Would it be advisable to also change the fork bush for a new oem one or uprated or is it the top gearbox mount that needs doing, again either new oem or vibratechnics.

Considering reverting back to standard as for a daily the vibrations are getting annoying and I'm a bit concerned they may cause other bits to come loose lol

Oh, it's the fast road torque bush I have at moment, everything else is 10 year old standard bushes.

Any advice gratefully received whether you've experienced this yourself and found a solution or not

I found fitting a stiffer upper gearbox mount after doing the lower made the vibrations less noticeable.
