    most likely worn thrust arms, could be a bent wheel, out of round tire, out of balance assembly, loose steering componants...or even all of the above.

    an inspection is your first step.

    for good parts order from bmaparts.com, better if you call them than to use their website, not much is really on the site.

    they ship to you also.

    The key word you're looking for is Shimmy. Search for Shimmy and it will lead to other keywords.
