Default WOBBLING FRONT END-HELP

I own a 2007 Ultra classic, had some real annoying front brake squeel, so I went to local Harley dealer and bought new pads. I installed as directed with directions provided, have a little bit of drag and get about 1.5 full rotations out of the tire.
&nbsp\\;
I take the bike for a ride to insure everything is good and now I have a bloody front end wobble??????? You can barely feel it or notice it when you area holding the bars, but when you take your hands of (yes i Know not smart) at about 35/40mph the bars wobble back and fourth.
&nbsp\\;
What is wrong or what did I do??????

I'm not real sure where to steer you.
I'd actually have to ride the bike.
Did you remove the tire? If so, are the spacers on the correct side? Did you get the axle tight? Axle cap tight?
Is your rotor warped?
Are your wheel bearings bad?
If you removed the tire, did you put it back on correctly? The tires do have a rotation arrow.

I have had this problem on more then one bike.&nbsp\\; Always turned out to be a tire change that fixed it.&nbsp\\; Slight uneven wair in the tred will cause it.
