Well it finally stopped raining here, so I took her out for a better test and this is what I found;

The shimmy is most pronounced while decelerating from 50-40 (Just like V452CB1100 noted) with my hands off of the bars.
Page 12-15 of the Honda service manual states "For optimum balance, the tire balance mark must be located next to the valve stem". Mine is not. (See pic)

I'm hoping it's just a simple tire balance issue, all of my other Honda bikes have been smooth as glass. Will be taking her in next week and will let you all know what the outcome was.

Thanks for the input.
