None here.
Maybe check your wheel balancing again? The weights could have fallen off. Take it to your trusted wheel installer / mechanic and ask them to rebalance it. Also, check and ensure the tire pressure is correct.
Suspension adjustment is always a good idea but may not be your major culprit.
Please post here your findings when you solve your issue.

I don't think you need a damper. I think the slicks shape or carcass stiffness is responsible. Mine doesn't wobble at 110 mph on OEM tires with or without a handlebar mounted windscreen.
After you check the balance, try different tire pressures.

Yes, it must be the slicks
On OEM tires I have gone 125 130 and no wobble issues.
I am going to do some minor geometry changes, to see if it fixes the issue.

Nope.. no issues..
Check your tyres, tyre pressures, wheel weights, spindle, pinch bolts, bars and tighten

I don't have a wobble, but I re-geared for Road Atlanta and was showing mid 120's on the back straight. It was a high wind day and the gusts made the bike twitchy.
If you have a wobble, the bike is not setup right. Dampers are for jolts and such, not wobbles.

Were you running slicks? Or oem tires ?
