Default moving front wheel

2000 Road King I just purchased. Going straight down the road and it feels like the front wheel kind of floats. Not a real comfortable feeling. I'm thinking wheel bearings. Any thoughts?

How about tire pressure? Is it good? At least 36 lbs. I run 40 on the front with my Venom X's.

Put the bike on lift with the front wheel in the air. Check for lateral movement by hand. If you have any movement at all I would suspect wheel bearings. Make sure your front axle is tightened to spec!!!
