Forks are at same height, new front tire, and handlebars are smooth below and above 30mph.

Sounds like your new front tire is out of balance.

Bearing's. Neck most likely. Possably wheel. At rest, the weight of the bike is pushing the front wheel forward away from the bike. While moving the forces are reversed. The wheel is being pushed back toward the bike. At one point (in your case 30MPH) the forces are equal and any slack in the bearings show's up and you get the shakes. Block up the bike securely so that the front wheel is off the ground and try to lift the front wheel by hand. You should have ZERO play or slack of any kind anywhere. Neck or wheel. Good Luck

Tire outta balance and/or worn front shock seals. The out ofbalance condition hits a harmonic at 30mph that resonants in the handlebars at that particular roadspeed.
Also, the steering head bearings (upper and/or lower) may also be worn. This is also a dangerous situation.
Git 'er fixed or prepare thy doom!
PS - GL1100 is a great set of wheels. Super reliable engine with heaps of low end power! Nice ride!

using tug, i'd commence with the tires. 40 5 mph is in basic terms too low a p.c. for all even if the most extreme imbalance to take position, so we are left with suspension or tire complications. If those examine ok and that is even as accelerating and by no skill a lot even as cruising, i'd suspect a CV joint. In countless forums some people have reported shaking in early 2000 Honda autos that became out to be undesirable CV joints, even inspite of the actuality that the boots were ok.

I'd lean toward an out of balance tire. Otherwise, I'd ask when the oil in the front struts was last changed, and what weight you were running. I'm thinking, if it's been awhile since you changed the fluid in the front struts, they could be a source of the problem.
Have the front tire checked for balance, and then look at the struts as the next possible source.

If this has always been a problem, then change to a heavier shock oil, ie; sae 40.
A low speed shake is one of three things.
1.tire out of balance
2. Front shock oil or springs issue depending on riders weight.
3. Loose shock fittings or somethings out of round or camber bearing is bad in the front tree upper or lower or both are bad.

Low air pressure in forks or tire, loose steering stem nut, loose axle/loose wheel bearing, bent brake rotors. Something has to be ruled out, rule one of these at a time out, also look something for else wrong while checking these. Most likely not a tire out of balance, they vibrate at higher speeds, but may be unseated bead.

Low tire pressure commonly causes shakes.
Some bikes need to have the axel seated properly or you'll get head shake.

Check your steering head bearings (or have them checked if you don't know how). If there is any play in them the bike will be prone to headshake and is unsafe to ride.
