Wobble

Wobble
Purchased a 2009 Heritage Softail in May. Love riding it and have put on about 4k miles. However, I get bar wobble a lot. With both hands on the bars, it is not noticeable. But, I go to one hand and it is there. Seems to occur mainly between 35 - 40 mph, but other times seems constant at all speeds.
I have adjusted tire pressure in the front tire several times, but never seem to find the sweet spot to make it go away. Tire is new, with no cupping or dry rot.
Help anyone?
By the way, newbie to the forum and couldn't find any previous posts on this.

Make sure everthing on the front end is properly tightened. That may not be it, but I had an issue with the forks twisting. I didn't have a wobble, but it just didn't feel right when running straight down the road and in curves it felt like it wanted to head for the pavement. Kind of gave me that pucker factor. The dealer figured it out and retorqued everything. Problem solved.
The way they found it was they locked the front wheel down and pushed the handle bars left and right. If you can find a way to brace the wheel in the vertical position, give it a try. Can't hurt..
