Yeah I had it Beags...for the first few thousand miles on the bike...
Ridest8 didnt help...but when it went in the shop I took the suggestions on the board here and had them tighten/check the neck and laser align the tires and rearend. My low speed problem has been gone ever since.

Mine was mainly in turns, the bike just felt like it was squirrely...not staying on track in turns...I wouldnt call it a wobble like the high speed wobble...more of a drifting off line and me having to keep compensaing to get it back on line...

Now I can onehand a sweeping turn and not even think about it.  Hope this helps.

I agree with Barry, it was the same correction I made to mine.

Beagle,

You didn't recently have a rear tire replaced, did you?  Reason I ask is that I noticed a strange feel on low speed turns after installing a new tire; the sudden change from a worn "flat" profile to a new  "rounded" profile had me thinking the rear wheel was loose or something.  I don't remember feeling the same affect when replacing rears on my Dyna, but the steering geometry on an eglide is totally different.  Just a thought.
