I had it a bit as well went up one setting on the rear shocks help a lot, I find that equal pressure on both bars a slight amount of throttle is the answer but i only get it up at about 100mph, below that is fine, I put it down to the extra leverage a small change on the bars transfers all the way down to the wheel, I have bars and risers so I am not sure if this is adding to or subtracting from the issues

I also didnt experience wobble with mine, I have a other bike with a shield and also experience truck wind pressure, it sucks, but thats when I over take the truck or slow down, its safer that way,keeps the flying tire tread away!

I experienced the same issue when I changed to apes. Poly brushing helped. Relaxing your grip on the left grip, and ear plugs work wonders too. I got all the same type of responses about the bike having "other" issues, but had the bike checked several times. Turns out, it is just a change in the dynamics/rider position... at least in my case...

I had a similar problem with mine and it turned out that the front tire was starting to get some cupping, causing the wobble at anything over 60.

if you wear baggy jackets/sweaters and combine it with wind when you ride that can cause a wobble. unbalanced tires can do it, or just riding with a death grip can cause it...lighten up your grip, and change jackets if its baggy on you....
