 I found slow wobbles at 90mph+ sweepers. Is this the tires ( stock bridg.

 or  susp. setup,  softeness? I'm 6'0" 195lbs. >>

How many miles on the bike?
What tire pressure (cold) were you running?
What suspension settings were you using?
Are the steering head bearings properly adjusted?
What was the condition of the road surfaces?
Bags on or off the bike?
Anything in them?
Stock or aftermarket windscreen?

Any of the above, some combination of the above, or none of the above could 
be contributing to the condition that you describe.  If the oscillation is 
*slow* it is likely that you are experiencing a weave rather than a wobble.

Don't make any assumptions until you start eliminating some of the items 
listed above.
