    some tread patterns are prone to scallop, that will cause hands off front end shake

    Probably 5 main things most likely to cause this
    would all need to be checked out to eliminate all possibilities.

    May not be possible in all cases to eliminate slight wobble.

    NEW front tire replacement frequently fixes it.

    I agree, tires frequently cause the shake. Having too much weight on the front wheel can also cause it, as can bad headset bearings.
