That's strange, I don't get a wobble in the front end until I hit about 160...

Might check your front bearings (wheel and steering) - Bearings need checked and repacked on this year as we do not have sealed bearing
Mine has a wobble also at 80 mph [8D]
Handgrips will helped alot - I bought Premium ISO™-Grips from Kuryakyn
