Front tire shake...

[azcycle]

New front tire (same brand/type: Shinko 712) mounted and balance by SW Moto tires. The guy installing felt, in his opinion, that the rim was definitely bent enough that it wouldn't be round and suggested I get it straightened.

That being said, it *feels* like 95% of the hop is gone with the new tire. The remaining 5% may still be the rim, or it might be me imagining the bounce. I plan on taking it up the local twisties (safely!) this coming weekend to verify, as that is where I noticed it the most before.
