It is more than likely your steering head bearings.  Have them 
checked/adjusted at your local dealer.  I had this problem a year or so 
back, wobble under de-acceleration when I took my hands off the bars, 
usually started right about 40-45mph.  Steering head bearing adjustment 
cleared it right up.  I don't think you need a damper.
