I've got this same problem on my 2011 with about 7000 miles. Happens around 40 to 50 mph. Haven't dealt with it yet but it's fairly unnerving. Hopefully with this Video and the advice given here I can get it fixed while It's still under warranty.
This has been an issue posted when this Forum first started. The dealer will say no all day long due to cost of everything from fall away adjustments to replacing a V up tire to a V down and Back to another V up. Key is call HD headquarters get a work order number give it to the dealership and don't stop until its fixed. Check your ride out before your warrantee expires! do not change anything on your bike prior to checking for this issue or you will be told to pound sand. Sad to say this is not something checked prior to you taking possession of your bike. (they uncrated a bike wiped it off and I pointed out to a dude to remove plastic off pipe before he started it. this was at another dealership i stopped at one day. So how would they know?
My 2011 does the same thing...scared the CRAP outta me the third day I owned it when I was adjusting my gloves while coasting through 40 mph to a stop. Dealer said they "couldn't reproduce the problem"...just like they can't reproduce the high intensity vibration that is actually AUDIBLE in the front end as soon as I head into a corner.
I have a local independent shop telling me that's most likely the wheel bearings for the "humming" vibration and the head bolt for the wobble. I'm taking it in for a new rear tire this week and he's gonna check everything else out in the process.
