Chris, I had a fork shudder issue on my Atlantis. I my case it was a set of brakes that had no toe adjustment (other than bending something) and had a lot of clearance between the cantilever post on the fork and the bushings in the brakes (loose fit on the studs).
The lack of proper toe adjustment would set up a vibration that was bad enough to shudder the fork/bike. I changed brakes, now everything is happy as can be :-) I have had incorrect toe settings on other brakes and they generally just get noisy.
