Many many thanks to all that suggested ideas, I checked all of them and it made me eliminate them as suspects.

Vaughn came over today, and within an hour had it narrowed down to a tire. One tire is out of round, its not "true". We swapped that rim and tire for the spare rim and tire off my trailer, put it all back together and took it for a drive. NO SHIMMY, just the normal tire vibration and just a little out of balance, but literally 200% better. I actually got it up to speed and kept up with traffic on a long open road. Vaughn suggested getting balance beads and the small shimmy will pretty much almost be gone!! Ill be doing just that!! Doesn't seem like the bent wheel mount flanges are as much a problem as I thought they were

Thanks to all for suggestions and making me check everything.

And thanks to Vaughn for takin the time to come over and help me with it. I am very very fortunate to have someone as knowledgable as him so close. Everyone should be so lucky!!

Looks like Hollister is gonna happen, knock on wood!
