Default Death Wobble on the 2010- 2014 Wide Glides?

Has anyone who owns the 2010 - 2014 Dyna Wide Glides ever experienced the so called "death wobble" that the baggers and such have been experiencing?
I have a 2104 Wide Glide, would like to know for my own peace of mind,
Thank you.

No problems here, bought my FXDWG in 2010 new. Check your tire pressure often, those skinny front tires need it checked a lot.

I cruise the interstates between 75 and 80. No problems so far.

The classic wobble on some baggers seems to be associated with the rear motor mount configuration. Dynas have a different mount system.

I actually did. Was due to a shitty mechanic not righting the front upper motor mount though. At about 85-90 the whole bike would shake.

I have a 2012 no death wobble but
on some freeways the front tire does follow the grooves and feels like a slight wobble.
