Air pressure is good, from a visual everything looks ok. First touring bike I've owned, last one was an fxstc.

Could also be a loose or improperly seated Neck Bearing.

Had this happen to me. Turns out it was a front tire separation problem. Tire was replaced at no charge and problem solved.

I did some looking and one of the front rotators looked loose to me. Took it to the dealer and I was right. I checked the torx bolts and they were tight but apperently not enough. Problem solved.
