Default Looking for suggestions

I installed new chrome wheels with new commander II on my 16 RGU and have come up with an issue. When I am going 30-40 mph and start zig zagging back and forth I get this vibration feeling through the grips. It's not a wobble or out of balance type of thing but more like a brake pad is hanging up. Only does it when you turn and not when going straight. Bike does have abs and linked brakes. When I park the bike one disc is hotter to touch than the other. Could the calipers be out of alignment or is there even a way to align them?

Thanks for any suggestions.

When you put the disks on the new rims did you use NEW screws AND follow the torque sequence per service manual?
Also did you torque the axle nut to specs?

Yes sir it was all done to spec. Some may ask that it's on warranty just take it to the dealer. The only problem with that is I have three other times and still no fix yet.
I was wondering if there was air in the lines that could cause it or something to do with the ABS system. Hell I don't know, I am hoping for an answer on here is because i know the good people on here know much more than my dealer.
