Try neck bearing adjustment first.  It's as likely as anything else to be the problem (maybe more likely) and you won't spend any money (yet) on new parts.

you should not need such a thing on a Dyna. Check neck bearing and next would be motor mounts.

   Check for loose or missing bolts on the rear trans mount.

Rather than just throw bandaids at a problem, it makes much more sense to do some diagnostics and find the real problem, then fix it.  There is nothing about a Dyna that I'm aware of that makes them inherently unstable at speed, much less have a front end wobble, so if you are experiencing a problem then I'd suggest there is something wrong that can be found and fixed.  Adding stuff to cover up the problem isn't a good idea.

BTW, I noticed in one of your first posts that you thought the bike handled great at high speeds.  Obviously something changed, the trick is to figure out what that something is.

Your right it was fine up to about 100mph.then i started pushing the bike 120+(cant really tell how fast speedo buried)and she started wobbling very vigorously.Going to go over motor mounts and trany mounts but dont know how to check neck bearing.

don't all bikes have a high speed wobble over 100+.  Harley's are not ment to ride at 100+ MPH anyway sounds like you need a crotch rocket.

If harleys are not ment to ride over 100 mph why do alot of people sell and install high performance parts for harley? I am not sure but think most riders given the choice would always like more power which turns into more speed.

I agree with above. Get a crotch rocket!  I ride FXDFSE every day. Best handleing bike I've ever riden.  However, this bike was never intended for high speeds.  Had mine at 120 mph for a moment...no wabble but there is no need to push this type of bike at those speeds...get yourself a crotch rocket before someone has to scrape you up off the road dude!

I agree with the sport bike idea if you really want to haul butt. I had a Kawasaki ZX14 for three years as a daily driver, smooth as silk @ 130+ where my 2010 FLHXSE is a handfull @ 100+ I truly miss the ZX14
