Harley CrossBones Wobble

Got a question for the CrossBone fans. I have a 2010 Cross bones Harley with only 3800 miles on it. I picked it up 2nd hand and there is no warranty on the bike other then a service agreement with Harley. I have a slight wobble on the front tire when riding the bike between 45 and 50 mph and I can only tell its wobbling when I let one of the handle bars go free. Should I be worried about this and if so what is the most likely the problem. I'm thinking the tire is out of balance and or the spokes need to be trued. What do you guys think.

neck bearing a little loose
tire cupping or tire balance issue
wheel bearings
loose spokes
wheel out of true and or round

Usually it one of, or a combo of above..

Also has the springer front end been serviced, It might also need attention.
