Afaic this falls in the category 'moist in speedo'
Should have been designed better but hey, is a Harley.

Mine just developed this. Was absolutely rock solid, I could take my hands off the handlebars at 80+ and it would track just as solid and true as you could hope for. But in the last 1000 miles or so, something's changed, and now above 70 the bars wobble, I mean they'll move about an inch or two back and forth. Not happy about it. Dealer can't get my bike in for review for over a week, but it may just be worn-out tires. Tires have about 9500 on them.

Probably not going to find many dealers who will ride your bike above 90 mph to check on the wobble. Also try using ride on as balancing. Tire weights will go out of balance after time, but using ride on should always keep the wheel in balance. Plus have the added benefit of sealant. But at 9500 miles, tires prob need replacing soon.

I verified that my front tire appears to have worn unevenly, so I am going to replace the tires before looking into any other causes. It just came on so suddenly, it doesn't seem like it should be related to gradual tire wear, but regardless it seems the issue would be much easier to diagnose (or even disappear entirely) with new tires in place.
