I don't know if what I experienced qualifies as an official high speed wobble, but here is what happened.
While riding on a freeway at 70mph, on my 2007 Road King Classic without a windshield, I had an uneasy feeling because my front wheel seemed very light and I had some slight wobble/shimming in the front end. As I slowed it went away and the steering head felt normal, but as I increased speed it happened again. Since then I have not had it happen and I have not yet added a stabilizer.
One point worth noting is that the freeway that this occurred on had grooves in the road that ran parallel to my wheels. I have been on other freeways (at speeds of 70-90mph) that have no grooves and I have not experienced this wobble/shimming. I'm still looking for the best type of stabilizer to purchase and install so any advice is appreciated.
