Default Deceleration Steering Wobble

I have an 07 1200C that has 1100 miles on it. Lets say I'm coasting to a stop and I let go of the handle bars around 50 mph, as it slows down the handle bars wobble down to about 20 mph. Has anyone had this problem?

No. Have you taken it in at 1000? Take it to the dealer, the front wheel needs to be balanced. Spoke adjustment or whatever.

Something isn't right. I can let go of my bars @ just about any speed and the bike remains very stable.

Get it checked before you have a bad problem.
