Did you torque the steering head bearings to the correct setting? If you did it by feel only it can be quite a bit out & as a result the front-end can feel horrible at any speed, on straights or in corners.
But is it the handling thats concerning you or a lack of confidence in the bike / your riding since the incident? I say this as you might be unaware of unconscious tension - you might be gripping the bars in a somewhat rigid way & as a result the bike doesn't handle as well as she should (or used to before the crash). Don't be insulted, but it may possibly be a mental problem and not bike damage at fault.
