Shadow front end feels "loose"

Its very subtle, but the front end feels "loose", that's the best word I have for it.

Steering head bearing?

Yup, or front axle bearing, or a triple tree clamp may have loosened. Could even be grossly excessive wear in your forks. Get the front wheel off the ground and see if you can find any excess play in the various front end components.

Check the easy stuff first.Tire pressure or tire worn.A bad rear tire could even make the bike feel like something is wrong with the front.
