Front end oscillation.

Maybe someone can help with this. I've got a'96 Heritage Special. Front forks were bottoming out and the handlebars would ocillate back and forth thru a wide speed range. Had the local HD shop rebuilt the forks and put in heavier fork oil. No more bottoming out but there is a slight ocillation between 37 and 40 mph only, otherwise the bike travels straight with my hands momentarily off the handlebars. (you know, adjusting the helmet or rolling up the [/align]sleeves.)Any thoughts. ta[/align]

RE: Front end oscillation.

Thank you for the input. I just couldnt figure it out. The front tire does have 15K on it and looks like it is in good condition. It will be do for a change here in the next 5k when I change out the rear. Thanks again
