I know but here in Texas temps don't normally change much so it's not uncommon for tire pressure to hold for several months at a time. My home compresser burnt up at the end of Dec and I have not replaced it yet. I always visiually check tires before rides but I will have to replace my compressor and get in the habit of checking the pressure before rifdes
Just get a simple gauge for like 5.00 at the auto parts store and check it every few weeks. Can put air in at any gas station. You will eat up tires so fast with low pressure too.

Don't need a compressor to check air pressure and visual def wont tell you anything.

before investing in a stabilizer, i would check the front end fall away, and also your tire pressure. you said that you checked it 4 rides ago, but that was about a month, and pressure can easily drop a couple pounds during the month.
rule everything out first before spending money.......

Its not the road
As mentioned check the basics o your setup with tire pressures nect bearings torque .
THEN make sure the stock suspension sag is set up correctly.
I would then pursue new Fork Internals to maximze the work Harley has done with the ugraded front end.
Only after these would I look into Stabilizers

This is the rear wheel wobble, right?
2500mi tire should be ok, I'm thinking stabilizer link.
I installed the Progressive link and it stopped it.
06' flhxi SE 103" Stage IV. I ride fairly aggressive and at high speeds.

I appreciate that this was intended as a heads up for what still might happen on a '14, but in 4 pages so far, still no report on the air pressure from the OP. Easiest and therefore the first thing to check which might explain the whole thing and no information.

So you're taking turns at 80 and its HD's fault.............OK..............
The NYS Thruway has put a lot of rain water draining grooves on their roads. There is a long tight sweeper that merges with another highway I take on the way home from work. Use to take it at 60+. Now you skip along on it, I go less than 50 now. So maybe the road surface
