Mine was caused by a variety of reasons, or I should say a variety of changes and repairs took care or it.
Grease and tighten the steering neck bearings (Probably the main one for me)
Tighten down the handlebar riser bolts
Check tire wear and airpressure
Be aware of road surfaces (my really BIG wobble came in rain grooves that were spotted with white DOT dots that I rode over while lane splitting.
Keep us posted.

They have a really nice brace that will help with that. I never had bagger wobble on mine but I did put this brace on to help keep my bike on a straight path when I get in road grooves. It also, for what ever reason seems to help with strong cross winds and buffering when I pass 18 wheelers.

Tire condition is also a big thing. As tires age (not just their wear) the cords break down and you lose some sidewall stiffness. Add if you've ever run low on pressure, add to the mix if your steering head bearings aren't on the tight side and well lubed. Ever notice how much better your bike handles after adding fresh rubber? A bagger brace helps. If you have a tire oscillating, with the bagger brace, it keeps the rear mounts, bushing from joining in on the fun. I've got the progressive suspension link and am happy with the way it works.
