add lower air damper and/or steering damper works great to fix it if you can not find the issue with the above. speed wobble can also be a sign of bad motor moutns

My suggestion...if you want to cruise at 100+mph, buy a sportbike. Furthermore, 100mph on a public roadway is just plain stupid.

i had a ness on an fxr years ago and have the hd quarter fairing on my dyna now and have not ever noticed this problem. Maybe it is just the air hitting you different.

what is the point of putting cams in youre bike, and installing a 2 into one if you are not going to use it... 100mph unsafe?, yes. remember opinions are like A HOLES.

thanks for the inputs guys, the faring is gone. i didnt like the idea of installing a stabilizor, or re learning how my bike rides. i would much rather have the wind on my chest.

Just a thought...
The fairing is only amplifying an existing problem that hasnt surfaced without it. With the number of miles you ride, you might want to think about tightening up the neck bearings a smidgeon and checking the condition/wear/balance of your front tire before the problem comes up and bites you.

Dyna beads or wheel weights?

Riders who drive WAY above the speed limit on public roads/interstates.....the same as the opinion analogy. Just think...if someone cuts you off, how will you be able to maneuver @100mph? You won't. SSSSSSPLAT!
