Could be wheel balance, wheel bearings, wheel alignment (front or rear), neck bearing adjustment or the fork oil level. Im sure there are a few other things that I'm not thinking of.

If you have wire wheels, you might want to check them for trueness - those spokes will stretch and/or loosen over time.

Funny that it did not wobble with the Metler before being removed. It points first points to balance then check out the rest if you did not re balance when you put the Metzler back on.

I had a similar issue, and it was balance.
