Check the neck bearings? Do the fall away test to see if they need adjustment.

Appreciate the feed back. I did reset them last fall after changing the mounts and still experiencing the shimmy.
Maybe it's just me, but I have a difficult time getting repeating fallaway measurements on this dyna (nothing on the handlebars, but clutch cable still connected). My ultra used to repeat every time when I was setting them up. I was thinking about adopting the newer style neck bearing test by checking breakaway torque from full lock with a fish scale and going that route...seems more definitive to me. Anyway, Ive got a nice trip this weekend, about 1,000 miles, I'll see how she acts on the highway at 70-75mph. My bike is 17 years old, maybe it's time to pop the triple trees apart this winter and inspect a little closer.

One other thing- where are you experiencing the wobble? Is it the same stretch of road or is it anytime you hit a certain speed?
