Kiss Principle (Keep it simple, st___d) 

Check tire pressure (easiest)
Check steering head bearing tightness.

 :2vrolijk_21:  Tire pressure seems to be very critical on mine---OEM pressure levels tend to produce that wobble---I keep mine at 38 front & 45 rear and wobble went away ! :)

I had that problem with an older bike. I had just replaced both tires, turned out to be a small defect in front tire. Yours prolly is something different just throwing out another possibility. Was balanced twice and found when I asked them to really look at the tire. Hope you get it resolved.

It was tire pressure on my softail, fought it for 4 months. I now have a real good gauge that reads .1, sounds like overkill but it fixed mine.....37.4 to 37.9 and smooth as silk.
