I mean the wobble appear at 120 kph in curve or during strong acceleration from 0.
At 120 kph, you should not be having any issues with your bike. Do you have new tires? It's been 3 years since those bikes came out, and if your tires are original, even if you don't have a lot of miles on them, they are at the end of their life. If you have had your bike regularly maintained at the dealership or an indy, I would say that either your motor mounts are shot, or your rear swing arm bushing are toast.
How can I check the alignement of the rear wheel and the frame?

This should give you an idea. If you Google it, there are tons of methods. I am lucky to have a motorcycle frame fabricator/repair shop a couple of hours from my home. He has a CMM, and can get the alignment extremely accurate. When I had my motorcycle done, the measurements pointed out the front forks had a twist. He had to loosen everything and re-tighten, and that was able to get it out, for example.
Just read all modifications in your bike, very impressive stuff. Looks like a beast. Great work.
Thanks. Many years and a lot of $$$$.
I'm interested in your Howard's Ohlins 30mm kit in your front end. Did you setup by yourself?
No. I purchased new sliders and Wide Glide tubes (the +63.5 mm longer ones) and sent them to Howard. He modified them, put them together, and sent it back. I had RC Cycles install them, along with the new trees and bars.
Can you give me a average price for the kit?
If I remember correctly, Howard's price was around $3,000 USD. That was for the 30mm kit and rear piggyback shocks. That did not include the price of the new sliders and tubes. This was a few years back now. I'm sure the parts are more now.
