Are you sure it wasn't the "wobble" that caused the bent forks....
Most bikes develop a bit of a wobble/head shake at certain speeds but it should be very minor. If it's more than that I'd just start checking through the basics, starting with the simple things like tyre pressure, shape and balance. As has been mentioned don't just restrict yourself to the front wheel, many issues at the back are felt at the front so check the rear tyre/wheel as well, then move on to things like wheel and swingarm bearings.
Another simple thing to check is the fork alignment, just lift the front off the ground and loosen the bolts holding one of the legs into the yoke and rotate the leg by hand. (only do one at a time). It should rotate easily and smoothly with no lateral movement evident down the leg.
