Anyone experience it? I know it generally happens way above the speed limits, so one solution is to stay below wobble speed.

I'm riding a '98 Tour with good tread Dunlop Elites.

Thanks for any tips.
Never give up!

I was able to run at any speed with no wobble, then I decided to go
darkside, got this real bad wobble above 90.

This board suggested that the shock bushings might have some
play in em. Took off the shocks, found those rubber bushings
were totally crumpled. Ordered new rubber ones from stealer,
wobble disappeared.

But I should'a got the urethane ones. They oughta last longer.
A guy called me a Ba$tard, I said in my case it's an accident
of birth, in your case you're a self made man.

+1 on inspecting the shock bushings...  Makes everything feel 'tighter' if they are worn and replaced.  :cooldude:

Just when the highway straightened out for a mile
And I was thinkin' I'd just cruise for a while
A fork in the road brought a new episode
Don't you know...

Conform, go crazy, or ride a motorcycle...

Anybody have a link handy for urethane shock bushings?

I believe it is your front tire.  I suspect you are running an E3.  Some Valks handle the E3 fine.  In my case 200 miles was all I could take as it had a gentle swim all of the time even at normal highway speeds.  I have been using the Avon Cobra now for a few years and can ride with one hand above 100.  Just my opinion
