Was wondering why you thought you needed raidail tires on your Road King in the first place?
Also, on a car, they don't recomend mixing radail tires with bias ply tires.
I for one, certinaly wouldn't do it on a bike.
My guess as to why you have a wobble ...
The Radial tires will flex a lot more than bias ply tires, this may give you the wobble.
Also, it might be becouse your frame may not be stiff enough, and may be flexing. Somthing you wouldn't notice with stiffer sidewall bias ply tires.
One other thing it could be is loose fork neck bearings, have you checked them latley?
Just my thoughts.
