2010 Wide Glide - possible dyna wobble - searched on it a lot
2010 WG. I had the stock bars and have switched to some 16" ape hangers with 1-1/2" risers. Replaced the riser bushings with poly. 11K on the bike. It did this with stock setup and new set-up so it's not the bars. I haven't tried an interstate run with the windshield off but I might. At 80mph or so it seems like it's wobbling or maybe following the siping lines on the interstate. Or maybe it's just a sidewind as it doesn't happen all the time. Would replacing motor mounts or getting a stabilizer kit reduce this? I understand that wide glides are prone with the front skinny tire to follow those lines and is that what I am experiencing? It's a little un-nerving at these speeds when it slowly kind of wobbles back and forth intermittently. Appreciate any input. Pic of the beastly Glide of Wide. I realize it could be a few other things. I had a burley slammer kit I took off and put the stock back on. I am going to upgrade that in the future (suspension) with some legend revos and progressive springs in the front. New tires will probably help as well.

I looked at the Sputhe stuff. Spendy - but I used to have a couple Buells. Makes a lot of sense!

What you are feeling is mostly wind resistance and buffeting, especially at that speed. I can ride with one hand at 70 but 80 I need to hang on more. And I just picked up a windshield which helps a lot above 50mph. But anytime I'm around cars or on the interstate, either bike will get blown around, from all the turbulence but the WG is more solid due to its weight and length. Solo riding with no windshield is very comfortable though. I would check wheel weights, tire condition, and the rubber mounts if it's really that bad.

First wide glide I have owned. The HD Dealer told me about the front tire following the lines on the interstate but I tend to believe what you say as you are not trying to sell me something. BTW - I test drove a couple 2010 wide glides at the dealership to see what they are like. They were asking 15k for each one (around there). They thought they'd give me a good deal and sell me one for $11,500. I found a private deal for $7500. Man - Black Hills Harley Davidson going for the big bucks out here.
I am going to upgrade tires. I wish they had the size I needed in the Michelin Commander II. I like those tires. I've also used Shinko. They are an inexpensive tire but I have had good luck with them. Maybe night dragons? Definitely need new tread right now. Good flat spot in the back .
