What I haven't seen mentioned is bead seating of the tires, both front & rear.

Easily checked with each wheel in turn up off the ground and spun while watching the sides of the tread to see if the tire is running concentric, the beads properly seated in the rims.

A wheel/tire assembly can be in balance with the tire not properly seated, which moves a bit from side to side, inducing a wobble in the forks.

If one or both don't run true, just deflate, lube (soapy water) and inflate to seat, then reinspect.

Good luck.
