Default Slow speed wobble

Took the 07 Ultra out for a little ride today before going to work and noticed a slight wobble in the front end when travelling about 10mph. It definitely goes away (or is imperceptable) once I get going a little faster, but it's definitely there. Anybody else have anything like this? Fairing related?

Hey Len, let me take your bike out for a spin and I'll let you know what I think. lol Did you happen to check your tire pressure? What about the rear shock pressure? From what I have read here, they may be the culprit. It was a beautiful day here in Albuquerque. But, being as it was Mother's Day, I spent the whole day with the wife. But the two of us are taking a spin tomorrow. I would invite ya, but I know you work. [:@]One day, we will need to finally meet up for a ride. Looking forward to it. TTT so you can get some expert advice. Hope you get it figured out.

BTW, the wife has a Grumpy jacket. Once you finally meet her, you will know why! lol

Tire pressure's good, but I hadn't thought about rear shocks... good tip, will check in the morning for sure...

Looking forward to that ride!

BTW, I have Grumpy permanently affixed to my left arm, hence the avatar. If you ask my wife, kids, mother, friends, coworkers, etc., etc., they'll tell you I earned it, and it fits... (I got grumpy shirts, mugs, golf *****, you name it!)

Sounds like the steering head bearings are a bit loose or the front wheel needs to be rebalanced.....CJ

Check all your REAR spokes (if you have them)
