Steering head bearings can need re-torque around the 8000 mile mark but oddly enough probably only every 20000 after that.
A slight wobble at low speed is usually down to an under inflated front tire or one that has too much mileage on it (even though there may be lots of tread left).
I've seen 1500's with only 2-3000 miles on front tires that developed flat spots, this is caused by the bike not being used for a while and up on the main stand, the weight presses down on the tire and over a period of time the tire goes out of shape.
If you feel that you have to drag the 1500 around corners instead of it going with you, the fork oil has probably turned to mush, this makes the front end sit lower, thus increasing the weight on the wheel.
Progressive springs improve the 1500's front end immensely, they banish the dreaded high speed wallow when negotiating the twisties.
