Default 2014 sgs front end dances around

I’ve looked all over the forum and haven’t found what I’m looking for, I have a 2014 sgs, stock wheels and stock suspension I have 12” cycle smith bars on it, the harley brand Dunlop tires front and rear I check my air pressure before every ride, I have 25,000 miles on the bike and as of late the last couple rides the bike dances around in the front end at 95-120 mph, it just started doing that, so I changed the fork fluid, took the steering stem apart greased the bearings, checked swing back, checked balance on the front tire and the wheel bearings, checked for tire cupping, everything checked out, but I’m still having the issue! Any help would be appreciated.

To OP, If the bounce has rhythm, It's tire balancer / runout. What you say is OK, probably isn't.. It make be that you from fork springs are getting weak. Say it as bounces over bumps.
