Trying to figure out what is going on with my front wheel. The wheel begins to bounce up and down as my speed increases.

I have a stock spoked wheel on a 75 CB750k. I have adjusted the spokes for no side to side play, and no up and down. also had the wheel balanced (they added the stick on type weights).
 
Is the tire itself out of round? The rim can be round but the tire can still have a bounce. Also check for proper amount of fork oil and condition. Possible weak fork springs after almost 50yrs.
 
No idea if the tire is out of round. I just serviced the front forks and the wheel hop was less noticible but still there. I dont know how to test springs
