Bike Wobbles

Hello All,
I have the 03 fxdwg. This is my first HD/cruiser. My bike wobble when I'm shifting from 4th and traveling 60 mph. I noticed it wobbles heavily when Ioosen up on the throttle. Any feedback would greatly be appreciated.

Check tire pressure, front axle and front wheel bearings. Check triple trees and bearings make sure 1 1/2" nut has not become loose on its own.

In your other thread on this issue you were given some great suggestions, what have you checked out on your bike so far to help you narrow down the cause of your wobble?

Describe this wobble. Does it only happen at 60 MPH when you roll off the throttle or does it occur at other speeds when you are off-throttle? Is it a true wobble of the bike or does it feel like a shudder going through the bike when you roll off the throttle? Does it seem to only occur in specific RPM ranges? If you are riding at 60 MPH have you tried as you roll off the throttle pulling in the clutch at the same time to determine if what you're feeling is rolling chassis or drive line?
