Front end wobble on my heritage springer

Front end wobble on my heritage springer
I noticed a couple of days ago my springer front end developed a bad wobble at slower speeds. 2k miles ago, I had the front end serviced and the bearings. We're in good shape. If the bearings were bad wouldn't it wobble at higher speeds? It almost sounds like a tire. Air pressure was good too. Any help is appreciated

Check the simple things first:
1. Tire pressure/condition
2. Wheel balance
3. Spoke tension
4. Fall Away
5. Fork spring movement (are both sides adjusted equally and are both fork rockers free or is one side binding)?
6. Rear Tire balance/alignment/spoke tension - Really, it can affect the front end's behavior
That is where i would start. Keep us posted.
Ride safe!
