I experienced same when changing the front tire to a Metzeler ME880 one
month/1500 miles ago.
No more front shake even while both hands off the handlebars at ANY speed !
I had ordered tapered bearings from Dennis Kirk several months ago, but
now I think it will not be necessary to install them (at least for the
moment)!
