I would check out the steering head bearings and check for wear. If they are bad, it will first be felt in the steering and handling

Headstock bearings are probably rusty, I just changed mine after 10,000miles, no grease just water, feels ok when stopped, but locks up when riding slowly, scary in the rain!!!
