Default Front Tire Shake

OK, I got my bike up and running finally!
But after a few days with no problems, I am starting to get "Major" shaking in the front.
I cant figure it out. I have checked all bolts and parts for tightness & straightness. And they all
check out. But still....

Please help in suggestions or solutions!

I rode it more today and if I let go of the grips it shakes a bit (not enough to start tank slapping or anything). Also while moving it has a bit of a bouncing motion to it. I am wordering if it could be the rim or the tire.
I crashed it awhile ago and the forks needed to be rebuilt because I blow out an O-Ring in one of the forks. I had the forks & triple-tree checked for straightness before putting it all back together. There is no visible damage to either the tire or the rim.

So I dont what to do. I do all of my own work, but I cant figure it out!

i would guess bent rim.... id pull it and put it on a balancer..... if you are real lucky, the rim is straight and the wheel-weight popped off during the wreck....

ive heard that it doesnt take much to bend/warp these cast aluminum rims.....any pothole would be more than enough to do it, let alone, a wreck bad enough to bend forks

Check your front tire it may be cupped. I had that problem but my bike would only wobble at higher speeds and the HESD took care of most of it, but i got a new front tire and it went away.. just a thought.

Check the rim for balance first again, then since you got the rim off the bike check the barings, they may be shot.
