I'll try a stab at your shimmy problem since one of my super M's has a tendency to do the same; especially while running her at high throttle settings in highway gear. I believe the steering setup on your H is pretty close to the M.
After removing the grill cowling and right in front of the radiator you will have a "wishbone-looking" steering bolster. Take the cap off the top of this bolster and you should see a ton of grease. Dig out the grease and there will be a half-moon shaped sector gear. My Super M has the round sector gear. You can check this gear for wear. Some of the teeth or grooves are probably a little "wallered-out" where it contacts the worm gear. The worm gear looks like a spiraled macaroni noodle that is attached to your front steering shaft that turns this halfmoon sector gear. It is possibly worn a little also causing the front wheel shimmy problem.
I am pretty positive that they make new aftermarket sector gears for the H (since they don't for my Super M). I remember correctly, they range in price from $80-100 new, and quite a bit cheaper if you can find a good used one at a bone yard somewhere.
My Super M has a round sector gear that can be flipped or rotated to the opposite or good unused side. I am just trying to figure out how I can find a tool small enough to pry out the gear since there is not much tolerance, and without having to drop the tower shaft.
Good luck, but I believe by checking wear on these two gears, this should solve your shimmy problem.
