2001 flht "dancing around" at highway speeds
Has anyone heard of a bracket that is supposed to stiffen the rear
swing arm and keep the bike from dancing around on the highway?
Everything else on the bike is ok, tires,bushings & suspension...
Any thoughts?

If everything was ok it wouldn't be dancing around while going straight. There is an aftermarket stabilizer system. Search the forum for "stabilizer" or "high speed wobble" there are about a million post on that.
+1 sounds like something isn't right

You have 3 motor mounts on your bike. One in the front and 2 on the swing arms. If you happen to have spoked wheels, VERY CAREFULLY check each and every spoke. I had a similar situation a while ago and turned out I had 3 rear spokes that were broken. If your issue is nearly as bad as mine I would not ride until it was fixed. If it is spokes, once they start breaking it will continue to break spokes.
