Just an opinion here! Steering dampers and fork braces are a waste of ones money:Coffee:
Yes, especially Gold Wings have a tendency to wobble on decel around 40mph and less. Yes, rake kits will lessen this condition.
This has nothing to do with your post of having a "tank slapper" at such low speed crossing a railroad.
In either case, one should never take both hands of the bars when moving!

First question is, does your trike have a rake kit installed? If not you need to add one. If it does have a rake kit, you need to retorque the steering stem to 40 ft lbs. If you dont have someone to do that for you, PM me and I can tell you how to do it.
Proper rake will reduce trail and will not only make any trike so much safer and easier to steer, it will eliminate head shake 99% of the time. Holding on to your handlebars will eliminate the other 1%.
