same issue same bike. Have replace front and back tires, front rim, neck bearings, adjusted adjusted adjusted. no change. Going to try and put progressive suspension springs in the front end. If it is not that one would think the motor may not be truly balanced and is bucking. But it doesnt matter what gear you are in or if clutch is pulled in or not. Dealer says "it is a characteristic of Heritages.........BS

Pretty much tried it all. New rear with less than 500 miles on it, new front with less than 100 miles on it, neck bearings tightened Saturday ( they said that it was really loose), 10,000 mile service with critical points checked, including spokes. Wobble still there@ round 40 when throttling down or coasting against the transmission or not. Doesn't matter what gear. Can't think that it is in the rear or you should feel it in your backside through the seat. Getting better with each thing that I have done, but not gone yet.

It is not at all uncontrollable. It's just flat annoying that when you rest your hands you have to be mindful of the wobble. Guess I'll keep my ears open to suggestions.
