Edit: I removed my question as it wasn't pertinent to fork shimmy.
Laid the fork on a nice flat table, bag of litty litter on the steer tube to hold it down, squared up the fork legs to the table just below the crown, measured from the table to the dropouts. One drop out was SLIGHTLY higher (about 2mm) off the table than the other. I then muscled it a lot closer than 2mm, shimmy all but eliminated. Tweaked the headset a little tighter. Pretty much gone.

I also think it's exacerbated by tall frames, tall riders, tall seatposts, HIGH centers of gravity. And I have some "high" gravity...
