I had the same problem with my VTX, the front would shake on decel if your hands weren't on the bars. I swapped the bearings in the front for the tapered type and didn't have the problem again for a while. Couple years later I let go of the bars just to see if all was still right with the world, and was greeted with a less pronounced shake. So while not a perfect fix, it did lessen the problem, and to be honest the steering did seem to feel better/smoother. Didn't seem to deflect as much when hitting bumps mid corner.
Just my opinion, your mileage may vary.. Was the bike ever dangerous before/after, NO. Not any more than normal anyway!
