I have a Honda ST1100 and the 50K+ miles I rode it, I have run 3 different front tires. The OEM tire had no headshake, Bridgestone BT023s have NO headshake, while Avon Storm and Storm ultras shake like a dog crapping a peach seed. I know of dozens of ST1100s that can not run Avon Storms on the front, doesn't maytter if the head bearings are stock or changed to tappered roller bearings.
You could have mechanical problems, but i'll bet a dollar to a doughnut that the bike doesn't like that front tire.

My experience with Avons on ST11's was that they needed a shitload of air pressure, like 48 PSI, to work.
