Steering stabilizer for 2013 fatboy
I recently put a fairing on my fatboy. Since installing it I get wheel wobble in front end at about 100 mph. Any suggestions on best steering stabilizer

Check your "fall way" adjustment first. The fairing dded weight and resistance to your front end (unless it is frame mounted) and may have just increased a problem that was already there but not yet noticeable.
I run a Memphis Shades Batwing Fairing and a full sized classic windshield, both quick detach and frequently am over 100 mph on the freeways and in So Ca high desert winds and dont experience any wobble.

Also check everything else on the front end before resulting to a steering stabilizer... ie: tire pressure, wheel roundness, bearings, tire balance, etc
I've always been of the opinion that on a Harley, unless you do something custom that affects the steering geometry, a stabilizer is just a band-aide to another problem...
Good luck with the fix...
