Default Hello to the Wiggles!!!!

Hey has anyone noticed any high speed (above 80 mph) front end swaying due to the wind???? Feels like the wind is knocking it left and right,, could the Murph's brace have anything to do with it or possibly the Madstad Windshield mount?? Or has it always been there and now just notice it more since my head isn't bobbing back and forth?

I am thinking it may have been there before but because I have never exceeded 80 mph much due to the buffetting maybe it was always doing it. Just wondering if anyone else's Strom does it. I notice it more around the indicated 80 to 90 mph, which I hear is really only 75 mph, on the interstate.
