Found out the problem. The rear wheel was out of true. Hd dealer didn't true up the wheel when they installed new tires. Never going there again for service!!

just saw this thread.... my bike does the same thing at about 70 but the thing is that it only does it bad on the highway... a bike shop said it was because i had a met back tire and dunlop front so i changes to new met front... still does it but not as bad... and i put a new spoke rear rim on bout the same time i noticed it... where did you take it to? local shop or hd? and if you dont mind how much did it run you?
