Assuming everything is tight upfront, mabe the wheel needs to be balanced. Take it to the dealer, it's under warranty

Low tire pressure, bad alignment, bad steering head bearings....Whatever it is, it needs to be fixed.

I have a similar problem but have figured it out. The thing is mine seems to be between 50-60mph over 60 it smoothes out. It turned out to be the front tire has some feathering in it and some small bumbs on the side that you can barely see. It is a stock front tire and the bike had 4980 mi. on it when I bought it not changed the tire out yet as its got about 1/4 of the tread left on it.

I get some wobble on my '06between 65-80 MPH but only running directly into a strong headwind. Not nearly as bad as older HD's I've had over the years.
