RE: wobble
YES new stem bearings also what about trying a fork brace but hers the catcher it has a mid glide front end hard to find one.
any thoughts where i could find a fork brace also considered a steering stabilizer

I think instead of trying to find a fork brace to add on I would be more concerned with finding out what the problem is. Your bike shouldn't be doing that. There's something wrong somewhere.

RE: wobble
Anyway you can get someone to ride the bike and you follow so you can watch the bike dynamics as it picks up speed? You should be able to decern if the wobbly/shimmy is starting in the front or rear.

My son's bike does that at different speeds. His is not a Harley but the front tire is cupped from low air pressure and the front end wobbles if he takes his hands off the bars. Don't know if this helps or not.
